Default Thermobaric explosives and rotary wing aircraft

Just to prepare for a possible encounter outcome for my group, has anyone seen scholarly articles or other data on the use of thermobaric warheads against rotary wing aircraft? Is the sudden change of air pressure fast enough or strong enough to make an impact on the flight characteristics? As an example, if one goes off in proximity of a hovering aircraft, does it lose enough lift to cause a potential problem. I am going to assume the airframe would take shock similar to other vehicles.
