Bell 525 Relentless vs Enstrom 480b vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer

The Bell 525 Relentless is best viewed as a larger, long-range “super-medium” class helicopter aimed at offshore and corporate missions. It typically offers the greatest range of the three and the highest passenger capacity, commonly configured for roughly 16 passengers (with layouts varying by operator). The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer sits in the light twin category. It is generally optimized for urban/public-safety, EMS, and utility roles, with a moderate range and a smaller cabin; typical seating is around 8 to 10 people including the pilot(s), depending on interior configuration and mission equipment. The Enstrom 480B is a light single-engine helicopter, usually chosen for lower operating cost, training, patrol, and light utility work rather than maximum payload. It has the shortest range and the smallest passenger capacity of the three, commonly seating about 4 to 5 people including the pilot. Overall, capacity and range tend to scale upward from the Enstrom 480B to the MD 902, and highest with the Bell 525, reflecting their increasing size and mission focus.
