Bell 525 Relentless vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Bell 525 Relentless and Leonardo AW189 are super-medium helicopters, while the Sikorsky S-92 is a larger, heavy helicopter; the Cessna Citation XLS+ is a midsize business jet. In range terms, the Citation XLS+ generally offers the longest typical trip capability for point-to-point travel, commonly around 2,000+ nautical miles depending on payload and conditions, because it cruises faster and more efficiently than rotorcraft. Among the helicopters, the S-92 and AW189 are broadly comparable in practical mission range, often on the order of roughly 450–550 nautical miles with reserves (mission dependent), while the Bell 525 is in a similar super-medium bracket and is often cited around the ~500-nautical-mile class for typical offshore-style missions. For passenger capacity, the Citation XLS+ is usually configured for about 8–9 passengers in executive layout. The Bell 525 and AW189 commonly seat roughly 12–16 passengers depending on configuration, while the larger S-92 typically carries the most, often around 16–19 passengers in high-density seating (with fewer in VIP layouts).
