Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S‑92 are heavy, twin‑engine helicopters primarily used for offshore transport, SAR, and government missions; both prioritize lifting capability and cabin volume over speed and range. In passenger terms, each typically carries around 16–19 passengers in offshore-style seating (with higher-density layouts possible for other roles). Their practical range is generally in the mid‑hundreds of nautical miles, often roughly 400–600 nm depending on payload, reserves, and mission equipment. The Piaggio Avanti EVO and Piper M600 SLS are pressurized fixed‑wing turboprops aimed at fast business and personal travel. The Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop executive aircraft, commonly configured for about 6–9 passengers, with a range typically around 1,500–1,800 nm. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop optimized for owner‑pilots, usually seating 5–6 passengers, with a range commonly around 1,200–1,500 nm. Overall, the fixed‑wing turboprops offer substantially longer range and higher cruise speed, while the helicopters offer vertical access and better short‑area utility.
