Lift, unlike in an airplane is provided by the rotary blades and not the pressure difference from air rushing over the wings. This however creates the unique problem of torque around the rotor axis. Designers came up with the idea of a secondary rotary blade to counter this thus cancelling the torque. Umm yeah.

HA!

I've already learned that long ago from watching many Chuck Norris movies back when I didn't speak english....
