Which aeronautical term is an aircraft that derives its lift from rotating lifting surfaces?

The answer is rotorcraft.

A rotorcraft uses lift generated by wings that revolve or rotates around a mast. Generally, rotorcraft includes aircraft such as helicopters, gyrodynes, cyclocopters, and autogyros that use one or more rotors to provide lift throughout the entire flight. For instance, on a helicopter, there is a left or right movement of cyclic which will command a roll motion from the rotor.
