Enstrom Helicotper 280fx Shark vs Enstrom Helicotper 480b G vs Guimbal Cabri G2 vs Leonardo Sh09 vs Md Helicopters Md 500e vs Md Helicopters Md 600n vs Robinson Helicopters R22 Beta Ii vs Robinson Helicopters R44 Raven I vs Robinson Helicopters R66 vs Schweizer Rsg 300c vs Schweizer Rsg 300cbi vs Schweizer Rsg 333

By category, the Robinson R22 Beta II and Cabri G2 are light, piston-powered two-seat trainers; the Enstrom 280FX and Schweizer 300C/300CBi are also light piston helicopters but more often positioned as robust trainers/utility platforms. The Robinson R44 Raven I is a light four-seat piston helicopter, while the Enstrom 480B-G is a light four-seat turbine. The Robinson R66 is a light five-seat turbine. The MD 500E and MD 600N are light turbine utility helicopters, with the 600N adding NOTAR anti-torque. The Leonardo SH09 is a modern light single-engine turbine in the four-to-five-seat class (program status has varied by market), generally aimed at training and utility roles. Passenger capacity clusters as follows: two seats for R22 and Cabri G2; typically three to four seats for 280FX and Schweizer 300 variants (often flown as two/three in training), four seats for R44 and 480B-G, five seats for R66 and SH09, and five to six seats for MD 500E and MD 600N depending on configuration. Range broadly scales with turbine vs piston and tanking: shortest in R22/Cabri/Schweizer-class trainers, midrange in R44/280FX, and generally longest in R66, 480B-G, SH09, and MD 500E/600N utility setups.
