There is a very big diference between the premise

"A heavy helicopter always falls faster than an identical, lighter, helicopter"


and


"certain helicopters may under certain circumstances due to optimisation of rotor efficiency fall counterintuitively slower in some areas of their weight range with an increase in weight"
