Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225, Leonardo AW189, and Sikorsky S-92 are large, twin‑engine helicopters typically used for offshore transport, SAR, and utility/VIP missions, while the Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range business jet intended for faster point‑to‑point travel between airports. On range, the Legacy 650E is in a different class: it commonly offers roughly 3,900 nautical miles of range (about 7,200 km), far exceeding the helicopters. Among the helicopters, the H225 and S‑92 are broadly comparable and generally sit around the ~500–600 nautical mile class depending on payload and reserves, while the AW189 is usually shorter, often around the ~450–550 nautical mile class, again mission‑dependent. On passenger capacity, the Legacy 650E typically seats about 13 passengers in a business configuration. The helicopters vary widely by fit: the AW189 is commonly configured around the mid‑teens to high‑teens, the H225 often in the high‑teens to low‑20s, and the S‑92 similarly in the high‑teens to low‑20s, with higher maximums possible in dense seating. Actual figures depend heavily on interior, baggage, fuel, and regulatory reserves.
