When One considers all possible Power Demands, Torque Moments, and Airpeeds....I doubt any large helicopter can be shown to be able to cope with such problems.
I know of an instance where an AH-64D has the entire tail rotor blade assembly depart in flight, the aircraft was flown to an airfield and made a roll on landing with no further damage. Just sayin'
