An attempt is made to develop an airplane with two rotating cylinders instead of airfoils to produce vertical lift. Each cylinder has a diameter of \( 2 \frac{3}{4} \mathrm{~m} \) and length of \( 15 \mathrm{~m} \), rotates at \( 750 \mathrm{rpm} \), while the plane moves at \( 8.41 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \) through air. Estimate the lift force.
