You're explanation is lacking in why the CL would be different. If B has a different CL to A, but wing area and velocity are the same, that would mean that the one with the higher CL would be...

Beg to differ. Given the attributes you describe, same wing area different airfoil, the Cl will be the same, as the formula shows.

L=0.5*A*ρ*CL*V^2

where:

L = Lift force
A = Surface Area
V...

There is no "additional lift". Best think of a propeller, it's just an airfoil that gets its airspeed by rotating, the pressure difference between the forward and rear faces causes the airflow to...

The coefficient of lift, which is a dimensionless number, expresses the ratio of the lift force to the force produced by the dynamic pressure times the area.

Cl = L / (q * A)

Cl = coefficient...
