Bell 429wlg Globalranger vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Gulfstream G280 vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Sikorsky S 76d

The Bell 429WLG GlobalRanger, Leonardo AW139, Leonardo AW169, and Sikorsky S-76D are twin‑engine helicopters optimized for short-to-medium range missions with vertical lift access, while the Dassault Falcon 2000S and Gulfstream G280 are super‑midsize business jets built for faster, longer-range point‑to‑point travel between runways. On range, the jets lead: the Gulfstream G280 is typically the longest‑legged of this group (around 3,600 nm class), followed by the Falcon 2000S (roughly 3,300 nm class, depending on reserves and payload). The helicopters generally sit well below that, with typical ranges roughly in the 400–700 nm class depending on configuration; among them, AW139 and S‑76D tend to be at the higher end, AW169 is similar, and Bell 429 is usually shorter. For passenger capacity, the Falcon 2000S commonly seats about 8–10 in an executive layout (more in high‑density), and the G280 typically about 8–10. The AW139 often carries the most in cabin (commonly 8–15), the AW169 generally around 6–10, the S‑76D about 6–8, and the Bell 429 typically around 6–7.
