Yeah, exactly my point.
An interesting, albeit old, solution to the retreating blade stall problem. Co-axial main rotors.

I guess the X2 drew its inspiration from here?
Ouch! Did it yesterday in an HH-60M. No extended fuel tanks or wings of course.
150+ kt track and balance. Auto was at 2000' PA, 16800 lbs gw, and 115% Nr. About 153 kts at 100% Q on 701D engines. Lose the stupid bubble windows and HONTEK blades and we could add a few kts.
Something like 1100+ lbs per HOUR fuel burn.
Nice fuel burn rate! Can you keep that up for long, or gotta bag quickly? The mighty warpig burns 4-5k per hour on all four engines combined during a typical transit at ~230 indicated (~330 ground).
And before any snooty P3 2Ps chime in, yes, I just chose an average number, I know that can be alot higher or lower... pfffttt.....
That'd be about 1100ppm.
Airwolf, the lose episodes.
"Low Fuel." Summary: an afterburner malfunction causes Airwolf to run dangerously low on fuel. The crew discusses whether to alert ATC to their situation, position, and intentions and possibly jeopardize the secretive program, or to land in a secluded field and call the Airwolf "Truck of Shame" to retrieve the stricken aircraft. At the end of the episode, Hawke (played by Jan Michael Vincent) debriefs his missteps and Santini (played by Ernest Borgnine) draws the entire fuel system from memory at a safety standdown.
