Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Robinson R66 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S‑92 are heavy, twin‑engine helicopters typically used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and government missions. Both carry roughly 16–19 passengers in high-density seating (more in some configurations) and offer medium-to-long helicopter ranges, commonly on the order of about 450–550 nautical miles depending on payload, reserves, and auxiliary tanks; the S‑92 is often cited with slightly higher typical range, while the H225 is frequently optimized for offshore lift. The Robinson R66 is a light, single‑engine helicopter aimed at personal, utility, and training roles. It carries up to five people including the pilot and has a shorter practical range, commonly around 300–350 nautical miles, varying with conditions and configuration. The Daher TBM 960 is not a helicopter but a high‑performance, single‑engine turboprop airplane designed for fast owner-operator and business travel. It typically seats 4–6 passengers (up to about 6–7 including pilot depending on layout) and has a much longer range than the helicopters here, roughly around 1,400–1,700 nautical miles depending on cruise profile and reserves.
