Two years ago, during a visit on a Finnish Air Force Unit, one of their pilots gave me a tour of the Mil Mi8. One of my questions was : " What are the limitations on the gear box ?". His reply was " We do not have any limitations on the gear box ". It appears that their gearboxes are built like tanks and can take quite a lot of power !!! If all their helicopters are designed with the same idea.....the sky is the limit.
