Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 is a large, twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and heavy utility missions. It offers the highest passenger capacity of the three, commonly seating around 16–19 passengers depending on configuration, and it also provides substantial range for a helicopter, roughly in the 400–500+ nautical mile class with reserves depending on payload and conditions. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop fixed‑wing aircraft optimized for fast business travel. It generally carries about 6–7 passengers (often plus one or two pilots) and, as a fixed‑wing design, usually delivers the longest range of this group, commonly around 1,200–1,500 nautical miles depending on mission profile. The Robinson R66 is a light, single‑engine helicopter aimed at private, training, and light utility roles. It has the smallest capacity, typically 4 passengers plus a pilot, and the shortest range, roughly around 300 nautical miles, varying with fuel, load, and operating conditions.
