Could helicopters have a large disc with slits to redirect air flow instead of blades? I drew a rough sketch of what I’m trying to ask

If the slotted disc directed the airflow down, wouldn't that creat lift.. all stability and direction of the craft would be controlled by fins on each side and the rear. As the air flow hits the direction adjustable fins the craft would go left , right, forward or backwards Altitude is adjusted by the speed of the disc.....
