Bell 525 Relentless vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Bell 525 Relentless and the MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer are helicopters, while the Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are long-range business jets; this makes the jets far more capable for intercontinental travel, while the helicopters excel at point-to-point access where runways are unavailable. In range, the Falcon 8X and G700 lead by a wide margin, with typical published ranges around 6,450 nm and about 7,500 nm respectively, suitable for nonstop transoceanic missions. The Bell 525 is a medium-class helicopter with a range on the order of roughly 500–600 nm depending on configuration and reserves, whereas the MD 902 is shorter-legged, typically around 300–400 nm. Passenger capacity also separates them: the G700 is commonly configured for about 13–19 passengers (with high-density options), and the Falcon 8X typically seats about 12–16 in executive layouts. The Bell 525 generally carries around 12–16 occupants depending on seating, while the MD 902 commonly carries about 8–10 including the pilot.
