Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piper M600 Sls vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 is a large, twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore, SAR, and heavy utility work. It carries the most people (typically around 16–19 passengers depending on layout) and has long helicopter range, roughly in the 450–600 nm class with reserves, but it trades speed and operating cost for lift and cabin volume. The Robinson R66 is a much smaller turbine helicopter, usually seating 4–5 (including the pilot), with comparatively short range (about 300 nm) and is best suited to light transport and training. The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are single‑engine turboprop airplanes, generally faster and longer‑ranged than the helicopters. The TBM 960 is an owner‑pilot, high‑performance aircraft typically seating up to 6, with long range around 1,400–1,700 nm depending on power settings and payload. The M600 SLS is also typically up to 6 seats, with range about 1,200–1,500 nm, generally a bit less than the TBM but still far beyond most helicopters.
