Every lift equation I know of use velocity. So if velocity is zero (static) the ship won't fly. You need to keep your eye on the concept of pitch speed. As to the smart a****, of which I have been accused, yes static thrust can play a part in the acceleration to flying speed.
The only time there is no velocity is when the engine isn't running. You are wrong when you say static conditions produce zero velocity. Equations use the velocity of the prop (rpm) for one measurement (static), and a flying (moving) propellor uses two types of velocities (v and V).

There is no real value in static thrust, rpm, power, etc.
