Bell 429 Globalranger vs Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw109 Trekker vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Sh09

All six are light helicopters, but they split into light‑twin and light‑single categories. The Bell 429 GlobalRanger and 429WLG are light‑twin, IFR‑capable cabin helicopters with similar passenger capacity (typically up to 6–7 passengers plus pilot(s)), while the 429WLG’s wheeled landing gear mainly changes ground handling rather than materially changing range or cabin count. Leonardo’s AW109 Grand New and AW109 Trekker are also light‑twin types; both generally carry about 6–7 passengers, with the Grand New oriented toward higher cruise/exec transport and the Trekker emphasizing utility flexibility, and their ranges are broadly comparable to other light twins, commonly in the ~400–500+ nm class depending on fit and reserves. The Leonardo AW119Kx is a light‑single with a large cabin for its class, often seating up to 6–7 passengers, but its range is typically a bit lower than the twins, often around the ~300–450 nm band depending on tanks and mission. The Leonardo SH09 is a new‑generation light‑single aimed at similar missions, with expected passenger capacity around the same light‑single bracket and a mid‑range profile comparable to other modern singles, subject to final configuration.
