The camera picks up the blades only for a split second within its many hundreds of rotations. The blades are spinning.
Unlike people who try to say that the camera has matched it's frame rate, that is impossible. The blades are rotating at an X rate per second, the camera is taking X amount of frames per second. The frames per second to the rotations per second show a blade in the same area every time. The blades are spinning so fast that it appears the rotors do not move. Optical illusion.
well ok then why are the blades on there then, and further more, why the need for the tail rotor if there is no torque from the spinning blades. If the main rotor doesnt rotate then it doesnt produce lift. If that isn't a MD500 I would sure like to know what kind of helicopter looks just like it with blades that move just a little and defy physics.
resonant frequency of the camera with the frequency of the propeller ... Brazilian greetings, best wishes to all!

No, magic.

Shutter speed = speed of propellers rotating
At times like 0:45 that time is off, so you can see the blades rotate.

i think a round the 0:50 s mark the blades shawdow is moving

LOL, wow that there has something to do with the fps of the camera, its not magic of super science. pretty cool though.

camera shutter rates?

yea thats not magic at all, just the shudder speed of the camera being slow and not catching the blades cause they move so fast....nice try though

No, theres no camera trickery here. Its a new helicopter design.

actually thats an MD500, been around for a very long time, believe me, i'm a heli pilot.
chickeneater1175 3 years ago
no it isn't. trust me, i once filmed a helicopter flying without spinning its blades.

the blades are there for decoration as it would clearly look silly without them.
as i mentioned previously, its not a MD500 but a new helicopter design. An amazing one, if I may be so bold.

its definitely a camera trick. they just sync the frame rate with the rotor speed so it looks like it isnt moving
