How to Calculate Lift for Rotor Blades

I found some articles online https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/lifteq.html https://sciencing.com/calculate-lift-rotor-blades-7680704.html

They are about how to calculate the speed and the force needed to lift something like it was a helicopter

The formula is:

L = ┬¢ ¤üv2ACL. L is in Newtons by the way, it is the lift force

p = Air density in kilograms per square inch; v2 = Air speed squared which is the square of the speed of the helicopter relative to the oncoming air, expressed in meters per second; A = Rotor dish area, in meters squared; CL = dimensionless lift coefficient at a specific angle of attack, which is the angle between the chord line of the rotor blade, is only a number.

You think this could be useful? As a former calculation member I ask you
