Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Daher TBM 960 is the outlier in this group because it is a single‑engine turboprop airplane rather than a helicopter. It typically carries about 4–6 passengers (plus a pilot) and offers the longest range of the four, roughly around 1,000+ nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves, making it better suited to point‑to‑point regional travel between runways. The Airbus H225, Leonardo AW189, and Sikorsky S‑92 are medium to heavy twin‑engine helicopters designed for offshore, SAR, and utility missions. Passenger capacity is broadly similar across them: the AW189 is commonly configured around the mid‑teens, while the H225 and S‑92 are often configured toward the upper‑teens to about 19 passengers in typical offshore layouts (exact counts vary by seating, fuel, and mission equipment). In range, these helicopters generally sit in the several‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class; the H225 and S‑92 are often cited at the higher end of this helicopter group, with the AW189 broadly comparable but typically somewhat shorter depending on fit and payload.
