Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 is a large, twin‑engine heavy helicopter aimed at offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions. It typically carries around 19 passengers (configuration dependent) and offers long endurance for a helicopter, with range roughly in the 450–850 km (240–460 nm) class depending on payload, reserves, and tanks. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin‑engine helicopter suited to EMS, law enforcement, and corporate shuttle work. Passenger capacity is usually about 7–8 (plus crew), and its range is generally shorter than the H225, commonly around 500–600 km (270–325 nm), again varying by fit and reserves. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is not a helicopter but a pressurized twin‑turboprop fixed‑wing aircraft designed for fast business travel. It typically seats about 6–9 passengers and has a much longer range than either rotorcraft, commonly around 2,400–2,800 km (1,300–1,500 nm), while cruising far faster but requiring runways rather than vertical lift.
