Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a twin‑engine heavy helicopter, typically used for offshore transport, SAR, and utility missions. Compared with the jets and turboprop here, its range is much shorter—generally a few hundred nautical miles depending on payload and reserves—and passenger capacity is relatively high for a rotary aircraft, commonly around 16–19 seats in transport layouts. The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra‑long‑range business jets designed for intercontinental travel. Both offer roughly 7,000+ nautical miles of range under typical manufacturer conditions, enabling nonstop missions such as North America to Asia or deep transoceanic routes. Passenger capacity is usually in the high‑teens in executive configurations, with maximum certified seating around the high‑teens to near 20 depending on layout. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine pressurized turboprop positioned well below the long‑range jets in size and mission. Its range is roughly around 1,000–1,500 nautical miles depending on power settings and reserves, and it typically carries 4–6 passengers plus the pilot.
