Bombardier Global 7500 vs Enstrom 480b vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Sikorsky S 92

The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range, ultra‑long‑haul business jet designed for intercontinental travel, with a range of roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typically seating about 14–19 passengers depending on cabin layout. The Sikorsky S‑92 is a large, twin‑engine medium/heavy helicopter used for offshore transport, SAR, and VIP missions; it trades speed and range for vertical lift, offering about 540–620 nautical miles of range and commonly carrying around 19 passengers (higher in utility configurations). The MD Helicopters 902 Explorer is a light twin helicopter aimed at corporate, law‑enforcement, and utility roles, with a range around 300–400 nautical miles and seating typically 6–8. The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter focused on training and utility/corporate missions; its range is roughly 200–300 nautical miles and it generally carries 4–5 occupants. Overall, the Global 7500 dominates range and cabin volume; the S‑92 leads among helicopters for passenger count and capability; the 902 Explorer and 480B prioritize smaller‑team flexibility and lower operating scale.
