just for info I worked out years ago when a student asked and because the info was not in the POH, that an R44 RRPM was about 400 and the R22 was 500.

but the tip speed was similar on both which I seem to recall equated to about 400kts

age may have changed this figures but thats what I remember

regards

CF
