Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter designed for utility and offshore transport rather than point‑to‑point fixed‑wing travel. It typically carries far more people than the others, often around 16–19 passengers depending on interior and mission fit, but its practical range is generally shorter than long‑range turboprops and jets, commonly a few hundred nautical miles, though specialized configurations can extend this. The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop optimized for fast personal and business trips. It is usually flown with 1–5 passengers (up to 6 seats total) and offers long legs for its class, roughly around 1,500+ nautical miles depending on reserves and conditions. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light business jet built for flexible operations, including shorter and semi‑prepared runways. It typically seats about 6–8 passengers in executive layouts (more in commuter configurations) and provides jet range around the 1,700–2,000 nautical mile class. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop positioned below the TBM, generally seating 1–5 passengers (up to 6 total) with range commonly around 1,000–1,400 nautical miles depending on load and cruise settings.
