Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Enstrom 480b vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a large, twin‑engine heavy helicopter typically used for offshore, SAR, and utility missions. It carries roughly 16–19 passengers (depending on configuration) and offers a long helicopter range on the order of about 450–500 nautical miles. The Enstrom 480B is a small, single‑engine light helicopter aimed at training, patrol, and general utility; it usually seats 4–5 occupants and has a moderate range of roughly 200–300 nautical miles. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin‑engine helicopter with the NOTAR anti‑torque system, commonly configured for EMS, law enforcement, and corporate transport; it typically carries 7–8 people and has an approximate range around 300–350 nautical miles. The Piper M600 SLS is not a helicopter but a single‑engine turboprop fixed‑wing airplane for personal and business travel; it generally seats up to 6 and has a much longer range, roughly 1,200–1,500 nautical miles, making it the clear choice for point‑to‑point cross‑country travel, while the helicopters emphasize vertical access and hover capability.
