Bell 525 Relentless vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Leonardo Aw189

The Bell 525 Relentless and Leonardo AW189 are helicopters, while the Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range business jet, so they serve different mission profiles. The Falcon 8X is in the ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet category and is designed for intercontinental flying, with a published range around 6,400 nautical miles, typically carrying about 12–16 passengers in a private configuration (with higher maximum certified seating depending on layout). The Bell 525 is a super‑medium helicopter aimed at offshore, corporate, and utility roles; it offers a much shorter range than the Falcon, roughly in the 500–600 nautical mile class, and commonly seats around 16–19 passengers depending on configuration. The AW189 is a super‑medium helicopter positioned strongly for offshore and search‑and‑rescue; its range is also typically in the 450–550 nautical mile class and it usually accommodates about 16–19 passengers, with higher-density seating possible. In practice, the Falcon 8X prioritizes speed and intercontinental reach, while the 525 and AW189 prioritize vertical access and regional point-to-point flexibility.
