Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are twin‑engine heavy helicopters designed for offshore, search‑and‑rescue, and utility transport, while the Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range, tri‑jet business aircraft optimized for high‑speed intercontinental travel. In range, the Falcon 8X is in a different class, typically capable of roughly 6,000+ nautical miles, enabling nonstop missions such as transoceanic or deep intercontinental routes. The H225 and S-92 have helicopter-class ranges, generally on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (often around 500 nm depending on payload and reserves), suited to regional point-to-point operations and offshore sectors rather than long-haul travel. For passenger capacity, both helicopters usually carry around 18–19 passengers in typical transport configurations (with layouts varying widely by operator and mission equipment), whereas the Falcon 8X is commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers in executive cabin layouts, with a certified maximum higher but rarely used in business-jet service.
