Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S‑92 are heavy twin‑engine helicopters, typically used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions rather than long‑range intercity travel. Their range is roughly in the 500–600 nautical mile class (mission‑ and payload‑dependent). Passenger capacity is generally higher than business jets in high‑density layouts: the H225 is commonly configured around 19 passengers, while the S‑92 is often around 19 with typical offshore seating, though both can vary by operator fit. The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra‑long‑range business jets optimized for nonstop international routes. The Global 7500 is commonly cited around 7,700 nautical miles, while the G700 is around 7,500 nautical miles, depending on speed and reserves assumptions. Passenger capacity in typical executive configurations is usually in the low‑ to mid‑teens (often 12–16), with maximum certified seating generally higher (up to about 19), but comfort and cabin layout typically drive lower real‑world counts than the helicopters’ commuter-style arrangements.
