Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter rather than a fixed‑wing airplane, optimized for vertical lift missions such as offshore transport and SAR. Its practical range is on the order of roughly 400–500 nautical miles depending on fit and reserves, and it typically carries around 19 passengers in high‑density seating (fewer with mission equipment). The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop, aimed at fast owner‑pilot travel. It offers about 1,400–1,700 nautical miles of range in typical planning and usually seats 4–6 passengers plus the pilot (up to about 6 total seats in many configurations). The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet designed for long, comfortable trips. It spans roughly 3,900–4,000 nautical miles and commonly accommodates about 10–13 passengers (up to around 14 depending on layout) with a dedicated baggage hold. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop positioned below the TBM in speed and cost, with roughly 1,000–1,400 nautical miles of range and typically 4–5 passengers plus the pilot (up to 6 seats).
