Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are medium/“super-medium” twin‑engine helicopters designed for offshore, SAR, and utility roles, while the Enstrom 480B is a much smaller single‑engine piston helicopter aimed at training, patrol, and light utility. The Gulfstream G700 is a long‑range business jet in a completely different category, optimized for high‑speed intercontinental travel. In range terms, the G700 is by far the leader, typically around 7,500 nautical miles, enabling nonstop transoceanic missions. The H225 and AW189 have broadly similar helicopter ranges, generally in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class (often roughly 450–500 nm depending on payload and fuel). The Enstrom 480B is shorter‑range than the larger twins, commonly on the order of a few hundred nautical miles. Passenger capacity follows the same pattern: the G700 can carry around 13–19 passengers in a luxury cabin (with higher maximums depending on configuration), the H225 and AW189 typically seat about 16–19 in high‑density layouts, and the Enstrom 480B usually carries 4 passengers plus a pilot (about five seats total).
