Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are large, twin‑engine helicopters optimized for offshore, SAR, and utility work, while the Piaggio Avanti EVO and Piper M600 SLS are pressurized fixed‑wing turboprops aimed at business and personal transport. In range, the H225 is typically around 450–550 nm depending on payload and reserves, and the AW189 is broadly similar, often about 450–500 nm; both can trade cabin load for extra endurance. The Avanti EVO generally offers the longest legs of this group, commonly about 1,400–1,700 nm, while the M600 SLS is typically around 1,200–1,500 nm, varying with power settings and payload. For passenger capacity, the H225 is the largest, commonly configured for roughly 16–19 passengers (and can be arranged for more in high‑density layouts), while the AW189 is usually around 12–16. The Avanti EVO typically seats 6–9, and the M600 SLS is generally a 5–6 passenger aircraft plus pilot, with a maximum of six seats in most configurations.
