Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Enstrom 480b vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are heavy, twin‑engine helicopters optimized for offshore transport and utility missions. Both typically carry around 16–19 passengers in common transport layouts, with ranges roughly in the 450–550 nautical mile class depending on fuel, payload, and reserves; the H225 is often cited around 500–600 nm, while the S‑92 is commonly around 500 nm. The Enstrom 480B is a light, single‑engine piston helicopter aimed at training, patrol, and personal/utility flying. It carries up to 5 people (including the pilot) and has a much shorter range, generally around 200–300 nautical miles. The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range business jet in an entirely different category: intercontinental point‑to‑point travel at high speed and altitude. It typically seats 8–19 passengers depending on configuration and offers approximately 7,700 nautical miles of range, far exceeding the helicopters and the Enstrom.
