Comparisons again!
SAS,Ii don't need to do any research to work out which person with a commercial vested interest you are quoting! Do we really want to drag up the old battleground? Well, you started it!
S92 windows 38cm x 49cm
EC225 windows 44cm x 71cm. 68% larger area.
Cabin floor size
S92 width 6.6ft, length 20ft
EC225 width 5.9ft, length 19.5ft, although the width tapers for the back 2 rows, hence only 2 seats at the back.
Cabin height
S92 6ft
EC225 4.8ft
So big difference in height which gives the perception of big increase in space, but space that is mostly only usable when embarking and disembarking.
VL, although I don't fly much, I can't remember ever having to bump bags, although I admit it can happen with a heli full of divers etc. It doesn't happen for a "normal" crew change.
