Default Towing With Helicopters

The Navy uses helicopters to tow mine sweeping gear, and I heard that at
least once helicopters were used to launch sailplanes for a contest. How
do you calculate the tractive effort that a given helicopter could exert
at a particular speed, density altitude, etc.?

Thank you,

Slightly OT and I think it's been posted before but this is the best Heli
towing picture I've ever seen.
