Vmc

hey, im doing a paper on Vmc for school here and I'd like to get a little more information... as I'm not quite sure about how exactly I'm going to go about it... and i don't have any real decent facts. I was thinking theres gotta be some people on here that might be able to shed some light...

What does 4 or even 6 engines do to the Vmc? I know things like the gear, flap sets, CoG, turbos, and all that effect the Vmc of the basic piston twin, but what happens in the bigger stuff? What else effects the magic of Vmc?

Do float planes have a Vmc(W) while on the water like wheeled planes have? Does that change?

How about helicopters? Do They have a Vmc? Or is it a rotor thing? Gyrocopters?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
