Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 is a heavy, twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility lift. It generally offers the longest range of the three (often around 800–900 km depending on configuration and reserves) and the highest passenger capacity, commonly arranged for roughly 16–19 passengers in offshore seating, with higher-density layouts possible. The Sikorsky S‑92 is also a heavy, twin‑engine aircraft aimed at similar missions, with a broadly comparable cabin class but usually a bit less seating than an H225 in typical offshore fit (often about 16–19) and a slightly shorter, yet still long, range that commonly falls in the same general bracket (roughly 750–850 km, configuration dependent). The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) MD 902 Explorer is a much smaller, light twin, optimized for EMS, law enforcement, and corporate/shuttle work. It carries far fewer passengers (typically around 6–8) and has a substantially shorter range (often about 500–650 km depending on fit), trading long-haul capacity for lower operating footprint and urban-friendly handling.
