Bell 525 Relentless vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Leonardo Aw189

The Bell 525 Relentless and Leonardo AW189 are super‑medium helicopters aimed at vertical access, offshore and corporate shuttle missions, while the Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are long‑range business jets designed for intercontinental travel. In range, the fixed‑wing aircraft are in a different class: the Global 7500 leads with roughly 7,700 nautical miles, and the Falcon 8X follows at about 6,450 nautical miles, enabling nonstop city pairs across oceans. The helicopters are far shorter‑legged, typically around 450–500 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves; the Bell 525 is generally in the same bracket as the AW189, with mission profiles focused on point‑to‑point access rather than long cruise legs. For passenger capacity, the Global 7500 is commonly configured for about 14–19 passengers, while the Falcon 8X is typically about 12–16, both varying with cabin layout. The Bell 525 is usually configured for roughly 12–16 passengers in corporate/offshore roles, and the AW189 commonly seats around 16–19 (or more in high‑density layouts), again depending on mission configuration.
