Bell 412epi vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Md Helicopters Md 500e vs Md Helicopters Md 902 Exlplorer vs Robinson Helicopters R66 vs Sikorsky S 76d

Bell 412EPi and Leonardo AW139/AW169/AW189 sit in the medium-twin utility/transport spectrum: the 412EPi is a rugged medium twin with moderate range and typically up to about 13–14 seats, while the AW139 offers similar class capacity (often up to ~15) with generally longer legs and higher cruise. The AW169 is a lighter “intermediate” twin with fewer passengers (commonly ~8–10) and solid range, and the AW189 is the larger heavy twin with the highest payload/cabin volume and long-range capability (often ~16–19). Leonardo AW109 Grand New and Sikorsky S-76D are light/intermediate twins aimed at corporate/EMS, typically carrying about 6–8 passengers with good range; the S-76D is generally roomier and longer-legged. Leonardo AW119Kx and Robinson R66 are single-engine utility helicopters, usually around 5–7 passengers, with the AW119Kx more commercial/utility oriented and the R66 lighter. MD 500E is a light single with small cabin (typically ~4–5), shorter range; MD 902 Explorer is a light twin with ~7–8 seats and moderate range. The Leonardo SH09 is a light single concept, expected in the ~5–7 seat class with short-to-moderate range.
