Research Question

[Maxflyer]

Can anyone help? I am trying to find out what would (in your professional opinion) be the most appropriate type of helicopter for ferrying 16 people and their hand baggage (approx 6lbs each) on round trips of about 600Km in hot conditions along the east coast of Africa? Comfort is not a top requirement.

Strange question I know, but any help gratefully appreciated.

Depends upon fuel points...onshore or offshore rig at one end?

Cat A required or not....anymore details you can offer?

Mainly inshore although very close to the coast, refuelling at halfway point. Cat A I think. Would be for aid type flights.

Hope that helps.
