No more,
I parked a CH47 at Templehof next to a Mi-26 a few years back. After a friendly bit of banter with crew and a look inside I walked in to that lovely curved hangar. I turned around and looked and, to me, my CH47 looked like a Gazelle parked next to a Chinook....it's that big. WRT engines, the Mi-26 donks are about 11000(!) SHP each, the T55-714 on the CH47 are good for about 4100hp max cont and nearly 5000hp in Emerg Pwr.
Remember, a CH47 and Sea King are nearly the same size - a Merlin fuselage is bigger. The cost of those inefficient tail rotors....
