Hmm! Not a lot of use to a helicopter pilot?

In truth, for fixed wing jets, it all depends on the rpm where the max fuel efficiency occurs. In the BAC Lightning it was reckoned that shutting down one put the other into the max efficiency band so you got more out of the tank (as long as you got it relit when the baddies came along )
