If you're undertaking serious helicopter study, then you should probably also be aware from the word go that they're rotor blades rather than propeller blades

A propeller on an aeroplane provides thrust but no significant lift, whereas on the helicopter the rotor provides both the lift and thrust, a very different kettle of fish.
