The medium used is completly different that's why the torque/RPM bands are so different. Driving an air screw is so completly a different world than driving tires on ground that there's actually a decent amount of good natured (and sometimes not so good natured) teasing on each end. They're really different worlds of application to a motor.
Took me a week to succesfully fly a helicopter in a stable hover in real flight. Two more and a month of practice to actually be able to change direction =>
Oooh, helicopters are evil! I tried flying on in the sim game and it wasn't pretty. I think I'll stick to 2-dimensional movement, and leave the 3-dimensional movement to others.
Also, helicopters seem to require even more current than planes with higher peaks than cars/trucks!
