Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piper M600 Sls vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are large twin‑engine helicopters aimed at offshore, search‑and‑rescue, and utility transport. They typically carry roughly 16–19 passengers in commuter/offshore seating (with higher densities possible) and offer medium helicopter ranges on the order of about 500–600 nautical miles depending on configuration, reserves, and payload. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long‑range super‑midsize business jet designed for fast intercity travel. It typically seats about 13 passengers (often up to 14) and has a much longer range than the helicopters, roughly around 3,900 nautical miles, making it suitable for transcontinental and some transoceanic missions. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop personal/business aircraft, positioned below the Legacy in size and speed. It generally seats 5–6 passengers and offers moderate range for regional missions, roughly around 1,400–1,700 nautical miles depending on power setting and payload.
