Can you give me the formula for taking off a helicopter? This formula must give the minimum force that produced by moth for taking off. (i want to project a miniatur helicopter).Thanks... from eng. student

The rotor blades on a helicopter are responsible for creating lift, allowing the helicopter to take off and stay in the air. They also provide control and stability during flight.
A helicopter takes off vertically by adjusting the pitch of its rotor blades. When the blades are tilted at a certain angle, they create an upward force that lifts the helicopter off the ground. The helicopter's engines also play a crucial role in providing the necessary power for takeoff.
The weight of the helicopter, the temperature and altitude of the air, and the power of the engines are all factors that can affect a helicopter's ability to take off. Air density and wind speed can also have an impact on the lift and stability of the helicopter during takeoff.
Helicopters use a combination of control inputs from the pilot and the movement of the swashplate (a mechanical device that controls the pitch of the rotor blades) to maintain balance during takeoff. The pilot must continuously make adjustments to the rotor blades and other controls to ensure the helicopter stays upright and stable.
Yes, helicopters have the ability to take off in any direction, including vertically. This is due to the helicopter's unique design and the flexibility of its rotor blades, which allow for precise control and maneuverability in the air. However, the direction of takeoff may be influenced by factors such as wind direction and the location of obstacles on the ground.
