If you wanted to push the helicopter into the air, your blower/rotor would have to be mounted on the ground, and the aerial part would have an umbrella like structure !
Not really, after all, you usually find a propellor at the front of a wing. Obviously you would not have a propellor that is only a few feet wide, but say it was half the size of a set of rotor blades. Wouldn't that work?
