Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 and the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer are rotorcraft, optimized for vertical lift and point-to-point access rather than pure cruise efficiency. The H225 is a heavy helicopter with the highest passenger capacity of the group (typically around 16–19 depending on layout) and a practical range in the several-hundred–nautical-mile class, often roughly 450–600 nm with typical reserves and mission fit. The MD 902 is a light twin helicopter with a much smaller cabin (commonly 6–8 passengers) and a shorter range, typically on the order of about 300–400 nm. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop fixed‑wing utility aircraft, carrying more than the light business single (often 9–14 seats depending on configuration) and offering longer range than the helicopters, commonly around 800–900 nm. The Piper M600 SLS is a pressurized single‑engine turboprop personal/business aircraft, usually seating 4–6 passengers, with a similar or slightly longer range than the Caravan in many missions, often around 900–1,200 nm depending on power and payload.
