Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Enstrom 480b vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 and Enstrom 480B are helicopters, while the Gulfstream G700 and Piaggio Avanti EVO are fixed‑wing business aircraft. The H225 is a large, long‑range twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore transport and SAR; it can carry roughly 19 passengers in a high‑density layout (fewer in VIP) and has a range on the order of 450–500 nautical miles depending on configuration. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter aimed at utility and training missions; it usually carries 4–5 people and has a shorter range, roughly 300–350 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet with intercontinental capability; typical passenger loads are around 12–19 (with much higher maximum seating possible) and range is about 7,500 nautical miles. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop business aircraft; it generally seats 6–8 passengers and offers a range around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, trading jetlike speed and efficiency for less cabin volume and range than the G700.
