I am no longer in the loop for such things, but (like the 225 rumor of death and destruction via ground resonance) rumors do not have to be grounded in truth to be fun.

The OEI performance of the S92 is eye-watering. The single remaining engine provides TWICE the power of an S61 engine for only 20% more gross weight (2700 HP OEI and 26,000 lbs). In fact, the one engine provides about the same power as the two S61 engines!
