Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter designed for vertical lift missions such as offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility work. Its range is typically on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (roughly 500–650 nm depending on configuration and reserves), and it generally carries around 16–19 passengers in a transport layout (higher in some high‑density setups). The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet optimized for intercontinental travel. It offers a range of about 7,700 nautical miles and is usually configured for 8–19 passengers, with high comfort and multiple cabin zones. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop personal/light business aircraft aimed at owner‑pilots and short to mid‑range trips. Its range is roughly 1,400–1,600 nautical miles, and it typically seats 4–6 passengers (up to 6 total seats in the cabin), trading speed and simplicity for lower operating costs compared with large jets.
