It depends on the Helicopter. Small ones like the homebuilt mosquito can only lift a few hundred pounds, but large commercial ships like the Russian Mi26 can lift 80,000 pounds (wich is the same as a fully loaded semi-truck)
The rotors are used for lift and thrust on a helicopter.
That depends on type of helicopter
the difference between an helicopter creating lift and an airplane creating lift is simple. an airplane creates lift by moving forward and its wing that has an aerofoil shaped will create lift. this gives the lift for the airplane and to fly. for helicopters, instead of the aerofoil is fix like an airplane, the aerofoil wing is rotating and create lift. that is why the helicopter does not need to move forward to gain momentum to create lift. by rotating the aerofoil (the blade) the helicopter can creates enough lift to lift up the helicopter.and that's how it fly..
The main rotor on a helicopter creates lift, which allows the helicopter to become airborne and maintain its altitude during flight.
Thrust from the helicopter's rotor blades generates lift, which enables the helicopter to overcome gravity and stay airborne. Drag acts as a resistance opposing the helicopter's forward movement, requiring additional thrust to maintain speed. Gravity affects the helicopter by constantly pulling it downward, necessitating continuous lift to counteract and remain in the air.
A helicopter requires air to generate lift from its rotors. Since the moon has no atmosphere, there is no air for the helicopter to push against and create lift. This makes it impossible for a traditional helicopter to work on the moon.

It produces lift and thrust in different ways.
A helicopter achieves lift through its main rotor blades, which spin rapidly to create lift by generating airflow over the rotor blades. The shape of the rotor blades and the angle of attack can be adjusted to control the lift produced. This lift overcomes gravity, allowing the helicopter to become airborne.

A helicopter pilot can increase lift by increasing the pitch angle of the main rotor blades or by increasing the collective pitch angle, which changes the angle of attack for all blades simultaneously. This increases the helicopter's vertical thrust and lift.
