Bell 407gxi vs Enstrom Helicotper 480b G vs Md Helicopters Md 500e vs Md Helicopters Md 600n vs Robinson Helicopters R44 Raven I vs Schweizer Rsg 300cbi

All six are light helicopters, but they span two broad categories: light single-engine utility/turbine ships (Bell 407GXi, Enstrom 480B-G, MD 500E, MD 600N, Schweizer 300CBi) and a lighter, piston-powered four-seat platform (Robinson R44 Raven I). For passenger capacity, the Bell 407GXi and MD 600N are typically configured for about five passengers plus a pilot, giving them the most cabin utility in this group. The Enstrom 480B-G and MD 500E commonly carry four passengers plus a pilot, while the Robinson R44 Raven I is generally three passengers plus a pilot. The Schweizer 300CBi is usually used with two passengers plus a pilot. For range, the turbine utility models generally sit in the mid-to-upper end of this set. The Bell 407GXi and MD 600N are commonly cited around the mid-300 nautical mile class, the MD 500E and Enstrom 480B-G often around the low-to-mid 300 nm class, the Robinson R44 Raven I roughly in the low-300 nm class, and the Schweizer 300CBi typically shorter, around the ~200 nm class depending on tanks and mission profile.
