The helicopter main rotor blades have an airfoil shape like an airplanes wing. The entire blade can also be angled by the pilot,through the rotor head. This angle makes it fly or lift.

What are four types of wings?

Four types of wings include fixed wings, which are found on airplanes and provide lift through their shape; rotary wings, like those on helicopters, which generate lift by rotating around a central axis; delta wings, characterized by their triangular shape, commonly seen in supersonic aircraft; and variable-sweep wings, which can change their angle during flight to optimize performance. Each wing type is designed to meet specific aerodynamic requirements and flight capabilities.
