These answers are not really correct.. I would suggest you just want a video about it on YouTube. I went to college for helicopter flight. There is a lot too it..

But I’ll try to simplify it, basically a wing creates pressure on the bottom side and reduces pressure on the top side. High pressure naturally goes to the low pressure side and takes the wing with it. The rotormast of a helicopter does the same thing.

It’s not done”weird pressure thing,” it is aerodynamics.
