How do I create a non-planar curve?

Hi all, I am trying to model a rotor blade using the loft tool and have found myself in a situation where the guide curve that I want to use for the leading edge cannot be represented with a planar sketch. 

More specifically, I would like a guide curve that is the intersection of the two highlighted curves in the first image, which are drawn on perpendicular planes. I extruded the curves as surfaces in the second image to illustrate what I mean. I'd appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.

    I you already have these you can use the projected curve feature.
    Otherwise a 3D fit spline might be an option
