Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 and Robinson R66 are helicopters, while the Daher TBM 960 and Piaggio Avanti EVO are fixed‑wing turboprops. In category terms, the H225 is a large, twin‑engine, heavy‑lift/transport helicopter suited to offshore, SAR, and utility roles; the R66 is a light, single‑engine helicopter aimed at private, training, and light utility missions. The TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop optimized for fast owner‑flown or business travel, whereas the Avanti EVO is a larger twin‑engine turboprop with a cabin‑class feel and efficient high‑speed cruise. On range, the TBM 960 is typically the longest‑legged of the group (roughly around 1,000+ nm), the Avanti EVO is generally slightly shorter but still in the long cross‑country category (often around 900–1,000 nm), the H225 offers medium helicopter range depending heavily on payload and reserves (commonly a few hundred nautical miles), and the R66 is shorter‑range (also typically a few hundred nautical miles). Passenger capacity is highest in the H225 (often configured for around a dozen to ~19), the Avanti EVO typically seats 7–9, the TBM 960 usually 4–6, and the R66 generally 4–5 including the pilot.
