Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piper M600 Sls vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 and Robinson R66 are helicopters, while the Gulfstream G700 and Piper M600 SLS are fixed‑wing business aircraft, so their range and capacity reflect very different missions. The Airbus H225 is a heavy, long‑range twin‑engine helicopter used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility roles, typically carrying around 16–19 passengers in high‑density seating (or fewer in VIP/SAR layouts) with roughly 450–650 nautical miles of range depending on configuration and reserves. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter aimed at private and training use, usually carrying 4 passengers plus a pilot (5 total) with about 300–350 nautical miles of range. Among the jets and turboprops, the Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental travel, typically seating 10–19 passengers (up to the low‑20s in some layouts) with about 7,500 nautical miles of range. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop for owner‑pilots, seating up to 5–6 with roughly 1,000–1,400 nautical miles of range depending on cruise and reserves.
