Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piper M600 Sls vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are large, twin‑engine transport helicopters typically used for offshore oil and gas, search and rescue, and utility missions. Both prioritize payload and cabin volume over speed and range; in general they offer medium ranges (roughly a few hundred nautical miles, mission‑dependent) and carry about 16–19 passengers in typical transport layouts, with the S‑92 commonly configured around 19 and the H225 often in the mid‑teens to high‑teens. The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are single‑engine turboprop fixed‑wing aircraft aimed at owner‑operators and business travel. They trade vertical‑lift capability for much higher cruise speed and substantially longer range than the helicopters. The TBM 960 is the faster, longer‑range option, commonly capable of roughly 1,000+ nautical miles with typical reserves, seating up to about 6 passengers (plus a pilot). The M600 SLS is generally a bit shorter‑range (often around 600–800+ nautical miles) and typically seats up to 5–6 passengers (plus a pilot).
