I don't think this incident was "hushed up" so to speak. I recall reading about it in the media several weeks ago.
As for the term "rotor droop" as mentioned here (and in other media reports), being described as a "loss of power". This might unfairly present a connotation to the layman that there was some sort of technical problem with the engines resulting in them losing power.
It might well be the case, of course, that the engines were "topped out" and producing the absolute maximum amount of power (or more) that they are designed to produce (i.e. no technical problem), yet the rotor speed could not be maintained simply because the power demanded (by the pilot) was in excess of design limits.
So, has it been explained at this stage one way or the other whether there was any real loss of power, or that the engines were OK? I think media reporting here and the explanations provided could be better.
