Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Enstrom 480b vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are large, twin‑engine helicopters optimized for offshore transport and utility missions. Both typically carry around 19 passengers in high‑density seating (more in certain configurations), with practical ranges commonly in the roughly 500–600+ nautical mile class depending on payload and reserves; the H225 often edges longer range in many published configurations, while the S‑92 is comparable and widely used for overwater operations. The Enstrom 480B sits in a very different category: a light, single‑engine piston helicopter aimed at training, patrol, and personal/utility flying. It carries about 4–5 occupants and has a much shorter range, typically a few hundred nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is not a helicopter but a long‑range business jet. It generally seats about 13–14 passengers in executive layout (higher maximum with belted seats) and offers far greater range than the rotorcraft here, on the order of roughly 3,900 nautical miles, making it suited to intercontinental city pairs rather than offshore shuttling.
