Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter designed for offshore, search‑and‑rescue, and utility missions. Compared with fixed‑wing aircraft, its range is moderate and typically suited to a few hundred nautical miles with reserves, while passenger capacity is relatively high for a rotorcraft, often around the high‑teens to roughly two dozen depending on layout. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility airplane optimized for short, rugged routes. It generally offers longer range than a helicopter and commonly seats up to about 9–14 passengers depending on configuration and regulations. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter focused on training, patrol, and personal/utility roles. It has the shortest range of the group and a small cabin, typically carrying about 4–5 occupants. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet built for intercontinental travel. It has by far the greatest range (roughly 7,000+ nautical miles class) and carries fewer people than the H225 but more comfort‑focused passengers, commonly in the 12–19 range depending on cabin layout.
