Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are heavy twin‑engine helicopters aimed at offshore transport and SAR, while the Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet and the Pilatus PC‑24 is a “super versatile jet” optimized for shorter runways and regional missions. In range terms, the G700 is in a different class, typically around 7,500 nautical miles, enabling intercontinental nonstop flights. The PC‑24 is medium‑range at roughly 2,000 nautical miles, suited to continent‑scale trips rather than global legs. Helicopter range is far shorter: the H225 is commonly around 450–500 nautical miles and the S‑92 roughly 500–550 nautical miles, varying with payload and reserves. Passenger capacity also reflects their roles. The G700 typically carries about 10–19 passengers in executive layouts. The PC‑24 is usually configured for about 6–10 passengers (up to 11 in some layouts). The H225 and S‑92 often seat around 16–19 passengers for offshore shuttle configurations, though layouts vary widely by operator and mission equipment.
