Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter, typically used for offshore, SAR, and utility missions. Compared with the fixed‑wing aircraft here, its practical range is shorter (roughly in the 400–600 nm class depending on mission and reserves) and its passenger capacity is mid‑teens in high‑density seating, though many configurations carry fewer for comfort, equipment, or SAR roles. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter focused on training and light utility. It has the shortest range of the group (generally around 300+ nm) and the smallest capacity, usually 4–5 people including the pilot. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet in a different category entirely, offering intercontinental‑style capability for its class with about 3,900 nm range and typically 13 passengers (up to around 14) in an executive layout. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop business aircraft, generally seating about 7–9 passengers with roughly 1,500–1,800 nm range, positioned between helicopters and the Legacy 650E for range and capacity.
