I'm curious. Can a Blackhawk, Chinook, or other large military
helicopter hover with one engine out?
Darn! I thought this was going to be a glider question.

It is when you are in a full dead engine autorotation. The SSA doesn't
really recognize them as such, but will accept your membership fee anyway.
However the sink rate is more like 1800'/min @ 60mph.
