Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are large twin‑engine helicopters, best suited to offshore transport and utility roles rather than long cruise segments. They typically carry around 16–19 passengers in common configurations and offer medium range for a helicopter, roughly on the order of 450–550 nautical miles depending on fit, payload, and reserves. Between them, the S-92 is often positioned for comparable passenger loads with strong offshore credentials, while the H225 is similarly in the heavy-helicopter class with broadly similar mission profiles. The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop airplane focused on fast, efficient point‑to‑point travel. It carries about 4–6 passengers (plus pilot) and has a substantially longer range than the helicopters, roughly around 1,500–1,700 nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range business jet designed for intercity and intercontinental missions. It typically seats about 10–14 passengers and offers the longest range of the group, roughly around 3,900 nautical miles, making it the clear choice when speed and distance dominate.
