Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter designed for offshore and utility missions rather than point‑to‑point executive travel. Its practical range is roughly in the 400–500 nautical mile class depending on payload and reserves, and it typically carries around 16–19 passengers in transport seating (fewer in VIP layouts). The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin long‑range business jet, built for intercity and transcontinental flights, offering about 3,900 nautical miles of range and seating commonly for 13–14 passengers (up to about 19 certified, depending on configuration). The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast twin‑turboprop with a smaller cabin than the Legacy, optimized for efficiency and short‑field flexibility, delivering roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range and usually seating 6–9 passengers. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop aimed at owner‑operators, with about 1,400–1,500 nautical miles of range and typically 4–6 passengers plus a pilot, prioritizing simplicity and operating cost over cabin size.
