Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Sikorsky S 92

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a long‑range corporate jet airliner, typically configured for roughly 25–50 passengers in VIP layouts (far more in airline seating) and capable of intercontinental range on the order of about 6,000–6,600 nautical miles, making it the clear outlier for distance and cruise efficiency. The Leonardo AW189 is a super‑medium twin helicopter aimed at offshore and utility missions, usually carrying about 16–19 passengers, with practical range commonly around 400–500 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. The MD Helicopters (McDonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter, generally seating about 8–10 passengers, with shorter range typically around 250–350 nautical miles, optimized for city, EMS, and patrol roles rather than long overwater legs. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a heavy twin helicopter for offshore transport and SAR, often carrying about 19 passengers, with range commonly around 500–600 nautical miles, offering higher payload and offshore capability than the AW189, but far less range than the BBJ MAX 9.
