As far as I recall the "Indian" tail rotor was 5 blades but better design including cambered blades giving more thrust (long time ago now). The Carson blades add roughly 10 kt and 1500 lbs lift capability on an S61 for the same power.
Quote from a colleague who did an evaluation flight test of the Carson blades in Canada: "Send money now".
