Propellors are on airplanes. Helicopters call them rotors. The small rotor on the back of the helicopter is used to counteract the torque created from the engine driving the main rotors.

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.
