Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus H225 is a long‑range, twin‑engine helicopter aimed at vertical‑lift missions rather than point‑to‑point jet travel. It typically carries roughly 19 passengers (in high‑density seating) and offers a practical range on the order of about 450–550 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves, making it best for offshore, SAR, and short regional hops where runway access is limited. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet in the “heavy” class, optimized for comfortable long trips with a typical executive load around 13 passengers (often up to 14). Its range is about 3,900–4,000 nautical miles, suitable for many transcontinental and some transatlantic missions. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the top end of the ultra‑long‑range category, offering the longest reach and the most spacious cabin of the three. It typically seats about 13–19 passengers depending on configuration and has an advertised range around 7,500 nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental nonstop routes.
