Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Enstrom 480b vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a large twin‑engine helicopter designed for heavy utility and offshore transport rather than point‑to‑point business travel. It typically carries around 19 passengers in a transport layout and has an operational range on the order of roughly 500–600 nautical miles, depending on payload and tanks. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet focused on intercontinental missions, commonly seating about 14–19 passengers in a high‑end cabin, with a published range of about 7,700 nautical miles. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter aimed at training, patrol, and general utility; it generally seats up to 5 occupants and has a much shorter range, roughly around 200–300 nautical miles. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop personal/business aircraft, typically configured for 5–6 seats, offering regional to medium‑distance capability with a range roughly in the 1,000–1,500 nautical mile class depending on conditions and reserves.
