Saintsman, I think you've got some basic physics to sort out in your head. An aeroplane propeller and a helicopter rotor are functionally identical. They both produce lift and thrust.

For the purposes of this discussion, propellers and rotors only produce a different result because they are mounted in different orientations on an aeroplane and a helicopter.
