So...
i.e. bell 412
less rrpm(with the same TQ setting) =
more confortable ride.
more knots at the same TQ setting.
and just a few pounds of better fuel burn?

S76
more rrpm(with the same TQ setting) =
less AOA in blades = less drag = NOTICEABLE better fuel burn?

It would be interesting to hear more comments from other helicopter types (ec-120/130 etc.).
