A wing, and the airframe to which it may be fixed, will fly in a direction determined by the 4 forces of lift, drag, gravity and thrust.
A rotating wing will do exactly the same, but adds centrifugal and gyroscopic forces into the mix.
Well there is of course no such thing as centrifugal force. Nor is there gyroscopic force where the thing is not being forced to do something it doesn’t naturally want to do.
