Bell 407gxi vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Sh09

The Bell 407GXi is a light single‑engine helicopter best suited to short‑ to mid‑range missions, typically carrying one pilot plus five to six passengers depending on interior and weight limits. The Leonardo AW119Kx is also a light single‑engine aircraft, generally offering similar passenger counts (often up to six in the cabin plus pilot) but with a roomier cabin and useful‑load advantage for operations where payload and hot‑and‑high performance matter; its practical range is in the same short‑ to mid‑range class as the 407GXi. The Leonardo AW109 GrandNew is a light twin‑engine helicopter, positioned for higher cruise speed and redundancy, usually seating one to two pilots with six to seven passengers, and it commonly delivers longer overall mission radius than the single‑engine types when configured for transport. The Leonardo SH09 (single‑engine, light class) is aimed at modern private and utility roles with a typical five‑passenger cabin plus pilot, and its expected range is comparable to other light singles, generally below the AW109’s typical transport capability.
