Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Enstrom 480b vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a large, twin‑engine helicopter optimized for utility and offshore transport. It typically carries the most people of the four (often around 16–19 passengers in transport layouts) but has a shorter overall range than the fixed‑wing airplanes, commonly on the order of roughly 450–600 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine piston helicopter best suited to training, patrol, and local utility flying. It seats about five including the pilot and generally has the shortest range here, roughly a few hundred nautical miles. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop, pressurized business aircraft built for fast regional missions. It typically seats 7–9 and offers long legs for its class, commonly around 1,400–1,700 nautical miles. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop, pressurized personal/business aircraft. It usually seats about 5–6 and provides strong range, often roughly 1,200–1,500 nautical miles, trading twin‑engine redundancy for lower operating complexity.
