  • Oh for f**k sake, would the buffoons who continue to post these ludicrous clips just bugger off. Naming a clip fraudulently and/or maliciously, to obtain viewers numbers should have their clip deleted. I am sick and tired of numpties, like this poster, who continue to post tripe and waste everyone's time...

    Oh! to "killerhamster104" the poster of this clip, YOU DID KNOW HOW IT WAS DONE!!!!

  • It's the fps of the camera, so it seems to be stopped, but the camera is only snapping pictures fast enough to get the blades in one position

  • Move

  • Dudes it's an effect when you video record helicopters. It's propellers goes backwards or don't ,ove

  • That sir, is what we call a Chuck Norris Choppter'. Or, a (CNC).

  • this is a russian Mi-35 attack helicopter tht has two top-mounted turboshaft engines driving a mid-mounted 17.3 m five-blade main rotor and a three-blade tail rotor. The engine configuration gave the aircraft its distinctive double air intake.

  • Great glide ratio.

  • magic

  • No wonder the Russians beat everyone in the space-race

  • Two words - "frame rate". The camera's frame rate is such that the blades on the main rotor (that's actually what the "big propeller" is called) only move to the position of the next blade from one frame to the next.

    Actually, it is said by fixed-wing types that helicopters don't really fly - they're just so ugly the earth naturally repels them.

  • cheat activated

  • gravity disabled ^^

  • GOD MODE ON

  • thats what a helicopter looks like on drugs....

  • poor frame rate ftw!

  • Such a cool effect. :-)

  • lol

  • HACKS!!

  • Whatever the reason, if a camera can do this to a helicopter they should be banned along with laser pens, it's a wonder it still flew.

  • @dealviinde dont worry i wasn't being serious i'm doing a film degree i know its camera trick just wanted to see if anyone would believe it.

  • It's really very simple, video is just lots of pictures very fast. The camera took a picture with the rotors in a certain position and by complete coincidence by the time it took the next one each rotor had done a complete rotation and returned to the same place. There's no editing or Russian super weapons here, just a nice little syncronisation between the frame rate and the rotation rate.

  • @rvfharrier You are right... however, there's no reason to believe that the blade we see in one position is the very same blade from frame to frame. All the blades are identical in appearance, so the entire rotor assembly might be making 1.8 revolutions between frames, or 0.6 revolutions, or 3.2 revolutions between frames... just as long as one of those five blades is in the spot when the frame is captured, you believe the rotor is not spinning. RPM vs FPS.

  • tats not even real idot

  • the new soviet weapon of destruction... a HoverHeli xD

  • when i filmed a heli on the video it looked exactly like this...

  • soviets have mastered anti-grav tech

  • toy

  • its called "digital editing"

  • The rotors are spinning at 25 rotations a second, same as the 25fps video rate. Clever though...

  • @sparten771 250 rotations.

  • they are moving so fast that it looks like they arent moving

  • If you people are going to talk all this technical jargon, don't you think you should learn to spell first?

  • Meh.. is this real? How is he hovering?

  • The rotors are spinning at 25 rotations a second, same as the 25fps video rate. Clever though...

  • really suck mine lol!!!

  • enemy apachi incoming!

  • This is called the "strobe effect" in camera talk. Basically the videocamera is taking one picture at the speed it takes for a prop blade to make a full rotation. The guy who took this shot probably did it deliberately by tweaking his camera to match the speed of the prop.

    A more common example of this is the tires on a moving car. Try it for yourself - it's a cool sight to look at.

  • @SharksWithLegs no! its done with a magnet!!

    btw it doesn't have to be a full rotation, it can be 1/5 or.../5.

    (There are 5 blades)

  • @SharksWithLegs @Ecrofgee thats pretty sweet :D

  • @SharksWithLegs surely 1/5th of a rotation?

  • Bacon 676 is totally right. The rotors are moving at the exact speed for the camera not to pick it up. This is not magic or trickery. However it is entertaining and easy to see why some of you are confused. Bet the guy filming it shit his pants when ge first watched it back.

  • Bacon hit the nail right on the head Rotors frequency vs video refresh rate.

  • The camera recording it is being hit with a radio frequency that of the blades, making them appear to stand still, and the video's only real purpose was to show the deflection of the blades as they support the weight of the helicopter by pushing down through the air.

  • ITS A CAMERA GLITCH

  • Probably some kind of reverse engineering - you know the ufo kind.

  • looks like a hind. is it a hind?

  • Yes Rommel it is a Hind.

    An Mi-28. This is the D model.

  • im not a helicopter expert but im sure there is something wrong with this one

  • nope, my father seen a sukhoi patroling in my locality doing some recon (undetected, IN PUERTO RICO USA TERRITORY!), it whas moving at a extremely fast velocity but very quiet, apparently not a noise... simple!. jet engines are obsolete like propelers, anti gravitation is the new fashion these days!, its just not official (not KNOWN) to civillians!▐▐▐

  • @Czaendermajer id say its fake because of teh tail propeler: that propeler avoids the helicopter turning around because of the rotation of the main propeler. if the main propeler isnt working (like here), the tail one is usless (almost, id be only for turning right or left but to move straight it shouldnt be rotating)

  • nopes! the mi-28 is the havoc, this is a mi-24

  • or it could be a video strob that is almost in sink with the blades. I have done the same thing filming a fan.

    JB

  • its just a glich .... will be fixed in the next patch.

  • It's stolen alien technology from the Ghanycian race who lives on the 11th Planet in our Solar System. Our government along with Nasa sent specially trained agents there and wiped them all out by spreading Terran Diseases and American Television like MTV. Poor souls stood no chance even with their superior medicinal and far advanced technology.

  • It's a sophisticated technology called "string", whereby one holds up a model helicopter on this startling device and dubs sound over the video.

    0:25 - 0:27 can see the freakin' string.

  • How about no? It's filmed with an fps which syncs with the speed of the wings

  • Kaltros,

    Watch the following video ending

    v=QS1Rzv7ZhKQ

    Notice the crowd at the airshow? Not a model on a string, but a display by the Czech Air Force display Mi-24. The camcorder frame rate is in synchronisation with the rotor blades.

  • Comment removed

  • lol whoever believes that is a fucking idiot. without the main rotor, and only the tail rotor spinning the helicopter would be spinning out of control

  • The film skip speed is the exact same speed as the rotor. You can still hear the rotor spinning. You're all a bunch of gullible idiots.

  • It must be a prototype helicopter like heatherrose2006 said - New anti-gravity

    device. which keeps the airacraft flying without the main rotor blades spinning.

    I don't think a Chinook transport can't do the same thing no way!

  • ROFLCOPTER!!!!!!!

  • The camera frames per second and blade speed are in sync. nothing special here.. just a good camera.

  • Unless "they" are showing off "their" new anti-gravity

    device. I agree, its just like shining a timing light

    on a harmonic balancer to time an engine.

    You can hear the main rotor whooping away

    in the audio. Even if the rotor wasn't providing

    lift it is not locked and thus it should be

    autogyro rotating, which it isn't.

    The sound is not the directional rotor because

    the "beats" in the audio don't match the rotation.

  • It's a certain type of frame rate.

  • i heard that before if thats true then why is the tail rotor spinning ever thought of that?

  • because the tail roter and the main roter dont spin at the same rate so it only slows down the tail, but it doesnt stop it

  • because there spinning at different speeds

  • because the rotor spins at a differe revolution per minute than the rotor blades do. so it captures the tail rotor has a different shudder effect than the rotor blades.

  • Right: This same technique is used to test windblades of turbo-reactors of commercial planes in order to find how every single blade behaves under high rotating speeds, or to test them in bird strike situations. The whole group of blades seem to be static but they move quite fast, no matter what anyone may think, it is a good trick that deceives the human eye...!

  • The video [showing a real MiG Hind Helicopter] was achieved by using a specially synchronized radio signal driven from the helicopter's engine RPM indicator to control the frame rate and shutter angle of the camera, the idea being to observe how the blades deform under various flight conditions. This is not dissimilar to stuff done in flight simulator work to control frame roll when shooting the pilot's point-of-view. Quote from Charles Stoddard who worked on this particular test project.

  • @Ecrofgee I was alway amazed by this video, that the camera somehow manged to keep the rotors seeming stationary. I am even more amazed now I know it was done.

  • @Ecrofgee

    It never occurred to me this was done by using a signal from the aircraft itself to study the behaviour of the rota.

  • @Ecrofgee *correction: Mil (not to be confused with mig) MI-24 Hind

  • its a cmaera trick ... the reflections on the windows are totally plastic ....

    pluse the body is not metalic its also plastic ...

    reflections tells u alot ma frnds

    its a lill model

  • I think Webster is right,

    this effect isn't anything rare...

    it's just a very good example of it

  • its a hind

  • a hind is a helicopter dumb ass

  • I tought it's a ship

  • lol

  • Russian helicopter designers can't be touched...pure genius.

    In Russia, you don't fly helicopters, helicopters fly you!

  • lolacopter

  • its just his camera, the camera has crap fps, so it looks as though the blades are not moving but they are.

    the heli would be able to move around otherwise, because the blade change there angle to move around, how do you think this would move and turn around if the rotors dont have speed to pitch the angles of the rotors.

  • Ha! Interesting theory but utterly incorrect. This is a model, so all that technical stuff is irrelevant. It's possible the model is made of super light material and the lift created by the blades might be enough to lift it.

  • MR PRESIDENT RUSSIA HAS A SECERT WEPON TO DESTROY THE WORLD

    -oh god blame n korea this must never hit the press

  • it is an illusion if the rotor wasnt spinning then why were the blades all bent upwards if they were still they would sag a little .But thats just my theory I could be wrong.

  • kingshit it is an illusion. The camara has the same frequency of the rotor spinning that is why the movements of the blade gets cancelled. Second think about logically. If the blades on the heli isnt spinning, no way it could fly. Heli needs the blade to generate lift, helicopters dont glide.

  • yeah I know all this the way to tell is the blades if you look closely they are all bent upwards if they werent spinning they would all sag a little

  • wow!

  • I am an aviation expert.. The lift and some thrust is provided by a variable jet engine beneith the helicopter. it would not be economical or provide enough manover to use this all the time, but it is good for some air manover such as landing in dusty fields, built up area and largly rotar failure. It generats less blast from the main rotars.

  • so ur saying its a hydro-copter?

  • oh hiya Im not sure what you mean by Hydro-copter my understanding of hydro is water? largly what im suggesting is that indeed this helicopters main rotor is not moving and its lift is generated by other means. Perhaps youve seen Harrier jets?

  • no i havnt and hia =D

  • even if the cameras frame shots were at sync with the propellers, they wouldnt be so clear, thered be a blur

  • lol simple. the shuts of the camera always are synch to this propeller position. so the camera catched only this position and it seems as the propellers are off :D

  • its just an illiusion people.... you can hear the blades spinning there for they are spinning and the camera is just causeing an illusion

  • i think i saw something lika this once its someting about the air under the propeller creats some sort of lift or some shit, but im not sure....

  • lol

  • Fucking idiots, the creator of this movie is a 3D animator and entered a cameramatch competition, the blade is pure 3D, synct with the movement of the heli.

    All you idiots that think that the framerate would match up, HAHA are you kidding?The rotor is not on an even RPM for as long as this movie is and dont you wonder why only ONE movie on freaking INTERNET show this fenomenan?

    Fuck, humans are so fucking stupid.

  • so what are you jesper, a fricking alien?

  • Lol, I jump out of aircraft at the weekends, and we regularly see propellors "stopped" or "spinning very slowly" on our videos.

    It is due to framerate, although I appreciate your point that it *could* be done in that way by someone with too much time on their hands.

    Its not that hard to comprehend dude :P

  • Well, to correct, you see the rotor somewhat "stopped", there is still motionblur, studder, flutuation and a small rotation.

    You will never get it as sharp and so still like in this movie.

  • Sorry for the shameless plug, but go to 2:26 on the video entitled

    "Skydive Bar Tape - Weston on the Green - 21/03/2009"

    Trust me, except for trimming, music and transitions, I don't edit my videos.

    Point proven :D

  • indeed

  • jasper if you think humans are that stupid, then you are within the retarded category of human being, beyond stupid.

  • maybe it's just a toy... no helicopter can fly like that, except UFO!

  • funny, looks amazing. Now here comes the spoiler.

    The number of frames the camera is shooting is matching the revs of the mainrotor by a whole number or a multiple of 0,2.( 1 frame=1 rev or 1frame=2 rev or 1frame=7revs or 1frame=1,4revs).

    This illusion shows how the illusion of movies works.

  • the main propeller is going so fast u cant see it move

  • im pretty sure its not on. if it wuz on, u would be able to see the connection spokes that good

  • u hear the propellers go extremely fast

  • it's not a toy helicopter, ljd1087 got it right.

  • It a Toy helcopter, tide with a transparent plastic rop[e on a stick,and the back tail rotor its spining due wind!

  • erm yes its a bit like an rc helicoter???

    oh wait IT IS!!!!!!

  • like a toy XD

  • u think its prtty good to be summin so simple

  • ya its the camera my cuz is in the marines and i showed him this vid and he said right away it was the camera. take it from someone in the military. ive seen his photos and vids and theres one exactly like this only a black hawk

  • simple case of frames/per second matching the rotor

  • nerd!

  • Its the camera speed and rotor speed that make it look like that...try it with your camera next time you go to an airshow.

  • Roflcopter!

  • lol yes its funny again and again (the same for cars when their wheels are driving backwords but the car is driving forward ;) 5*

  • yeah the shutter speed on the camera is matching the main rotor speed.

  • I knew it!!! Damn!

  • Its being towed by cable from a chopper above. Nice Effect though lols. Check out my brother and my vids on channel GTAIVPCVIDS, Enjoy!

  • how the fuck is it being towed you cock .....its not a puppet.. the back rotar is going and you`d need a fat wire to do that......how would it turn and lean with a cable on it?????

  • If its the camera's shutter speed matching the rotor then its a nice effect... but who pissed in your cornflakes?!? You should really break up with him.

  • No, this is the new top-secret lighter-than-air combat copter. It's filled with helium.  It works pretty well, but the air traffic control officials complain about the pilots voices sounding like cartoons!

  • wow... r u high or what? filled with helium.... to lift a small child of the ground u would need over 3 thousand helium filled ballons, and ur saying that this heli is filled with helium and so it is floating? also how is it gaining or loosing altitude?

  • They steer it up and down by thrust-vectoring their intestinal gas..... Didn't you get the joke? I thought you'd get the joke.......

  • You can easily duplicate this effect at home. Take an adjustable strobe light and point it at a fan on high. Adjust the light until the blades appear to not be moving. Same thing here, but with the shutter on the camera as others have said.

  • you can hear rotor chop.. idiots

  • Iv'e seen these videos Tons of times. There's a Fan under it, and it's Turbines are on. Orrrr... The camera Frames shutter Speed was adjusted to Match the speed of the main rotor.

  • a big fucking fan then!!!fool.....how would the fan move along the floor at the speed the helicopter is moving???!!!

  • i thinck another helikopter was holding it from the top..

  • i thinck another helikopter was holding it from the top..

  • the cameras frame speed is the same as the rotor speed. what are the chances of that? pretty cool looking

  • in fact its not photoshop because its look to real in fact its a new model of helicopter that can fly using some jets under his wings

  • I must agree with computer boy for obvious logical reasons. Jolly good computer boy i believe you hit that one right on the money.

  • Powered by Jesus!

  • Stroboscopic effect or temporal aliasing.

    You people really silly. =)

    Ofcourse better explanation that someone used !photoshop! to make fake... LOL

  • Comment removed

  • That appears to be an MI-24.

    The MI-24 can't fly without the main rotor. It may be that the camera shutter speed was adjusted to match the speed of the main rotor, or that this is a specially modified one for show. Such a modification could be achieved using extra gas turbine engines unseen, or possibly CGI. That still doesn't explain the rotor noise. That could be explained by an other helicopter in the vicinity, though it is somewhat unlikely, because if the helicopter had been ==>BREAK

  • <==CONTINUE modified with

    extra gas turbines, there would have been extra noise. It could also be that the helicopter was indeed modified or that it is indeed CGI, but with an edited audio track.

    The simplest explanation however is still that the shutter speed of the camera was adjusted, and there's a logicians law that says that the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

  • Comment removed

  • You're made in photoshop...

  • Comment removed

  • ITS A VIDEO IDIOT.

  • you can edit videos in photoshop frame by frame

  • tv promo is correct in his aspect of shutter timing and the aircraft is a hin-d

  • I am a former TV news photographer. The photographer who shot this adjusted the shutter speed to the exact point where the blades appear NOT to be turning. they really are, but the video camera shutter is in perfecxt sync with the rotor blades. Note that the tail blades appear to be slowly turning because it is spinning at a different speed, and thus is NOT in sync.

  • The blades are spinning to fast for the camra to capture so thats y it looks like its blades arent moving

  • Ok If you think it is a model you are totally wrong because the is sound and The RPM of the rotor blades fits exactly to the FPS of the camera so if you don't actully know what you are talking about then plz dont comment on this video

  • Yeah I have noticed that too. It is definately a camera trick, otherwise it is impossible.

  • lol. its simpel... The RPM of the rotor blades fits exactly to the FPS of the camera.

    you aunderstand ?

  • very good model

  • Dub floaters on a helicopter!!!

  • it was model  (like lego.... or any..... ) ))

  • That is absolutely amazing... I would never have guessed that!!

  • even though this is a camera trick and all that, does anyone else find this creepy for some weird reason?

  • Hey VincentDantes,

    You dont have to be in film to hear rotor blades chopping the air. "I'm in film"......what a numbnuts

  • It is just an mind freak thing those props are spinning even though it appears they are not.

  • the rear moves but the main stays still.

    i swear they have to be using some sort of fan/rotator on the bottom of the chopper to make it float/move. otherwise this hind mustve been in some air pocket

  • the tail rotor spins at a different speed than the main rotor. it's to negate the effects of torque that the engine/main rotor produce. if you look when the main rotor starts to "look" like it's moving, the tail rotor will speed up, this is because there is a higher power output and it needs to match it. as for the main rotor seeming like it's not moving, the camera just can't keep up with the rotations on the MR.

  • @don776 The camera is recording at the same rate, as it takes one of the blades, to do a full revolution. Thats why it looks like it's rotor is standing still....... One frame on the camera = one full 360 rotor revolution..

  • thats not possiblita

  • yup, as several other people stated, its because of the camera.

    you can hear the sound of the rotors, that made me wonder.

  • its a russian mil mi-24. lol i dont know if its true but who knows

  • the camera is filming at 300 frames per second dats why it not moving

  • the camera isn't shooting anywhere near 300 frames per second.

  • @webnetgamer ?? WHY WOULD IT?
