Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Enstrom 480b vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a large, twin‑engine helicopter in the “super‑medium” category, designed for offshore and utility missions. It carries the most people of this group, typically up to about 19 passengers in high‑density layouts, but its range is generally shorter than the fixed‑wing turboprops, roughly in the 400–500 nautical mile class depending on configuration and reserves. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility airplane optimized for short/rough fields; it commonly seats around 9–14 passengers and offers solid regional range, often around 900–1,000+ nautical miles. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter suited to training, patrol, and personal/utility flying; it typically carries about 4–5 occupants and has the shortest range here, roughly around 300 nautical miles. The Piper M600 SLS is a pressurized single‑engine turboprop personal/business aircraft; it usually seats about 5–6 and provides the longest range in this set, roughly around 1,000–1,500 nautical miles depending on payload and conditions.
