What's the difference between these following examples:
1) Lift at MGTOW and climb out at max performance OAT 15 deg.C and obtain 1600 fpm rate of climb, then cruise at MCP and achieve 85 kts straight and level.
2) Lift at 150 Lbs over MGTOW and climb out at max performance OAT 15 deg.C and obtain only 1000 fpm rate of climb, then cruise at MCP and achieve only 80 kts.straight and level.
3) Lift at 150 Lbs less than MGTOW and climb out at max performance OAT 15 deg.C and obtain 2,000 fpm rate of climb, then cruise at MCP and achieve 90 kts straight and level.
As far as the engine and airframe are concerned, the strain on the rotor head is the same, is it not?
