Enstrom 480b vs Md Helicopters (mcdonnell Douglas) 902 Explorer vs Robinson R66 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Enstrom 480B is a light piston helicopter typically used for training, patrol, and utility work; it has the shortest range of the four and usually carries a pilot plus three to four passengers depending on configuration and fuel. The MD Helicopters 902 Explorer is a light twin-turbine helicopter aimed at law enforcement, EMS, and corporate roles; it generally offers more range than the 480B and commonly seats one to two pilots with about four to six passengers. The Robinson R66 is a light single-turbine helicopter positioned for owner-operators and light commercial missions; its range is usually in the same general bracket as the 902 (often higher than the 480B) and it typically carries a pilot plus four passengers. The Sikorsky S-92 is a heavy, long-range twin-turbine helicopter designed for offshore transport, SAR, and airline-style operations; it has by far the greatest range here and commonly carries two crew with roughly 19 passengers in typical transport layouts (higher-density seating is possible).
