Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are twin‑engine helicopters designed for offshore, SAR, and utility missions, trading cruise speed and range for vertical lift and hover capability. The H225 is the larger, longer‑range and higher‑payload option, typically carrying around 16–19 passengers (and more in high‑density layouts) with a practical range on the order of roughly 450–650 nautical miles depending on configuration. The AW189 is slightly smaller, commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers, with broadly similar but often somewhat shorter practical ranges, roughly 450–500 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet focused on intercontinental point‑to‑point travel. It offers by far the greatest range—about 7,500 nautical miles—and typically seats 12–19 passengers in executive layouts (higher density is possible), with much higher cruise speed than the helicopters or the turboprop. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine pressurized turboprop in the light personal/business category, carrying up to 5–6 people, with a range around 1,400 nautical miles, positioned between helicopters and the G700 on speed and range but far below the jet in cabin size.
