Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Robinson R66 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 are heavy, twin‑engine helicopters built for offshore transport, SAR, and utility missions, while the Robinson R66 is a light, single‑engine helicopter aimed at private and light commercial use. The Gulfstream G700 is a long‑range business jet designed for high‑speed intercontinental travel rather than vertical lift. In range, the G700 is in a different class, typically capable of roughly 7,000+ nautical miles, enabling nonstop transoceanic legs. The H225 and S‑92 have medium helicopter ranges typically on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (often around 500–600 nm depending on configuration and reserves), suited to offshore sectors and regional missions. The R66 is shorter‑range than the heavy twins, commonly a few hundred nautical miles (roughly 300–350 nm). For passenger capacity, the G700 typically seats a custom luxury cabin for about 10–19 passengers depending on layout. The H225 and S‑92 generally carry around 16–19 passengers in offshore seating, with higher maximum seating possible in alternate layouts. The R66 is much smaller, typically carrying 4 passengers plus a pilot (5 seats total).
