Bell 525 Relentless vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Bell 525 Relentless and Leonardo AW189 are large, long-range helicopters, while the Embraer Legacy 650E and Piaggio Avanti EVO are fixed‑wing business aircraft. In category, the Legacy 650E is a long‑range heavy business jet; the Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop business aircraft; the Bell 525 is a “super‑medium” class helicopter; and the AW189 is a large/“super‑medium” class helicopter often used for offshore and utility missions. On range, the Legacy 650E typically leads, offering true intercontinental-style business range for nonstop city pairs well beyond most turboprops and helicopters. The Avanti EVO provides strong regional-to-transcontinental capability for a turboprop, generally shorter than the Legacy but longer than most helicopters. The Bell 525 and AW189 deliver long helicopter ranges suitable for offshore legs and point-to-point access, but they are usually well below fixed‑wing business aircraft range. On passenger capacity, the Legacy 650E generally carries the most in an executive cabin configuration (often around 12–14). The Avanti EVO commonly seats fewer (typically around 6–9). The AW189 and Bell 525 can carry roughly the mid‑teens in high-density layouts, though executive helicopter configurations are often lower.
