Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S‑92 are heavy twin‑engine helicopters designed for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions. Their range is typically in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class (roughly 450–550 nm depending on fit and reserves), and they commonly carry around 16–19 passengers in a transport layout. The H225 is often configured for high payload and offshore shuttle work, while the S‑92 is widely used for similar missions with strong emphasis on reliability and cabin volume. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet aimed at intercontinental travel. It offers roughly 7,700 nm range and is usually arranged for 8–19 passengers depending on cabin configuration, prioritizing speed, comfort, and long nonstop sectors. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed turboprop business aircraft positioned between helicopters and large business jets in mission profile. It typically ranges about 1,500–1,800 nm and carries about 6–9 passengers, focusing on efficient regional trips, shorter runways, and lower operating costs than large jets.
