Surprisingly high for most helicopters. Depends on the wind for starting and stopping the rotors as much as anything. 40 kts or thereabouts for rotor start applies to many articulated rotor heads. But then you can always shelter the aircraft behind a building or fuel bowser, for example, to get it out of the main wind.
