If it works the same as in the EC135 with the T2 engines, then it puts extra kinetic energy into the rotor system for use in the event of an engine failure on take off/landing.

However, it does increase the N2 cycle count(on the 135), hence we are restricted to using it only on helipad or full Cat A take offs/landings.
