How does the wingspan of a falling helicopter effect the speed?

It wouldn't, the propellers are designed to propel the helicopter off of the ground, thus the word propeller, not to make the helicopter glide.
The wings are too thin to hold up a helicopter and that is why they spin to gain ground as well as using kinetic energy to lift up. The propellers would eventually bend or snap if the helicopter would be to fall, the speed of the wind would break or damage the propellers.

The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is?
The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is the maximum falling velocity.
Two different masses are they falling at the same speed?
they arent falling at the same speed because gravity is stronger with a heavier object
How are height distance and speed related?
Now, this is in very....basic. It also may not be 100% correct. The higher up you are, the more distance you fall. The more distance you fall, the faster you go. You peak at a certain speed, and will continue falling at that speed once it is reached. The max speed differs in the amount of weight falling. (Proven by an Egg falling, or a Feather falling.)
How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
What effect does time have on the speed of a moving object?
Time in no way has an effect on speed.
Why can a helicopter reach a terminal speed whilst falling during autorotation?

Why a helicopter falling during auto-rotation could reach a terminal speed without the pilot changing any controls?
The helicopter begins to fall because gravity is pulling its weight. As the helicopter accelerates, the air passing past the helicopter creates drag, as the helicopter continues to accelerate the drag Increases until the drag becomes equal to the weight, stopping it from accelerating. Even if the helicopter did not auto rotate it would still reach a terminal speed, however the terminal speed for the non auto rotating helicopter would be a lot higher and the helicopter would take longer to reach this speed.
Does the length of the horses hair effect the speed?
not unless its so long they are falling over it
Why a helicopter falling during autorotation could reach a terminal speed without the pilot changing any controls?
Because Mr moffat likes to suck eggs
