I don't understand why they call it the "Magnus effect". It is a misconception. The Magnus effect operates on rotating cylinders or spheres. Neither is there on this airplane. The Magnus effect occurs because the layer of air rubs against the rotating surface. If the direction of rotation coincides with the direction of the wind, lower the pressure. If they are opposite directions, increase the pressure. This creates a pressure difference and a lifting force is produced that lifts the assembly.

Very well explained sir
Cylinder or not, it's still the same effect.
