Bombardier Global 7500 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long-range, ultra-long-haul business jet designed for intercontinental travel. It offers roughly 7,700 nautical miles of range and typically carries about 8 to 19 passengers depending on cabin configuration, with a large, pressurized cabin optimized for speed, comfort, and nonstop city-pair missions. The Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a super-midsize twin-engine helicopter built primarily for offshore energy support and search-and-rescue-type missions, but also used for VIP transport. Its typical range is on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (commonly around 450–500 nm with standard reserves), and it generally seats about 16 to 19 passengers in a high-density layout, fewer in VIP configurations. The Sikorsky S-92 is a larger heavy twin helicopter in a similar offshore/utility category, also widely used for SAR and executive transport. It typically offers comparable few-hundred-nautical-mile range (often around 500 nm, mission-dependent) and commonly carries about 19 passengers, with some layouts up to around 22.
