Dassault Falcon 8x vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet, while the Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 and Sikorsky S‑92 are medium transport helicopters oriented to offshore, SAR, and utility missions. On range, the Falcon 8X is in a different class: it can fly intercontinental missions at roughly 6,400 nautical miles, whereas the AW189 and S‑92 typically operate in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile bracket, with practical mission range varying heavily with payload, reserves, and loiter requirements (often on the order of ~450–550 nm). On passenger capacity, the Falcon 8X is usually configured for about 12–16 passengers in executive seating, prioritizing comfort and baggage over density. The AW189 commonly carries around 16–19 passengers in a high‑density transport layout, and fewer in VIP or SAR configurations. The S‑92 is generally the larger people‑mover, frequently configured around 19 passengers for offshore transport, with alternate layouts for VIP, medical, or rescue roles.
