Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Robinson R66 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are large, twin‑engine medium/heavy helicopters aimed at offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions. Both typically carry around 16–19 passengers in transport layouts (higher in dense seating), with practical ranges commonly in the 500–600+ nautical mile class depending on fuel, payload, and reserves; the S‑92 is often optimized for offshore legs, while the H225 offers very strong lift and long-range utility flexibility. The Robinson R66 is a light, single‑engine helicopter suited to private, training, and light utility work, usually carrying a pilot plus up to four passengers, with a typical range around 300 nautical miles. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop fixed‑wing utility aircraft for regional, cargo, and remote operations; it commonly seats 9–14 passengers and generally offers the longest range of this group, often roughly 900–1,000+ nautical miles depending on configuration and payload.
