Best Helicopters

Helicopters trade outright speed and range for the ability to operate almost anywhere — city helipads, offshore platforms, remote sites. Here are the helicopters in our catalog, ordered by range.

How this is ranked: Aircraft in the helicopter category, ranked by maximum range. Independent and spec-driven — we rank on the merits, not on who's selling. Figures are verified specifications. How we work.
