Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 is a heavy, twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions. Compared with the other two, it sits in a rotorcraft category but at the high end in size and capability. Its range is generally in the several‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class (often around 450–700 nm depending on configuration), and it can carry roughly 19 passengers (plus crew) in high‑density seating, or fewer with mission equipment. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large long‑range business jet, optimized for fast point‑to‑point travel. It offers the longest range of the three at about 3,900 nm and typically carries 10–14 passengers in executive layouts (with higher maximums possible depending on certification and seating). The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter aimed at private, utility, and training roles. It has the shortest range (commonly around 300–350 nm) and the smallest capacity, usually one pilot plus up to four passengers.
