****WARNING - STUPID QUESTION ALERT****

Ok, I'm no professional pilot or engineer but used to work in the industry and like keeping upto date on what is going on. Anyway, my question is this:

Asuming that the R66 is a turbine and will take 6 people (just following the numbers on that one), wouldn't RHC need to change the rotor design to cope with the extra weight of passengers, fuel, engine etc, etc or would the design from the R22/44 be able to cope??

Asked out of sheer curiosity and nothing else (although I can just picture Lu Z looking down and composing his response from afar).
