From: these mist covered mountains are a home now for me.
Just think of the aerofoil of the blade, being exactly the same as the wing.

The Low pressure on top sucks the aerofoil up, and the higher pressure underneath pushes it up (or forwards as in a propellor).

Probably not correct if you are an aerodynamics specialist, but I hope it works for you.
