ATR-72 before taking off from Athens International Venizelos LGAV airport, see the propeller curving!! It is caused by the slow shutter, but how did this curve occured on video?

  • i gave this video a thumbs down because you disabled ratings and comments on your other shit video "amazing landings 3".

  • @MisterBouncyBounce Sorry man. I had to do it in only two of my 150+ videos, as comments were too many and of no importance recently....

  • @toy2day well now that you didn't reply back with an insult i feel bad. i'll thumb up some vids to make up for it.

  • @MisterBouncyBounce It's ok man, just say your mouce was bouncing while watching my other video!!

  • ATR's should be pulled from services world-wide. They tried in vain to copy (or even come close) to the Bombardier Dash series, but hey.. failed miserably. The ATR's were pulled from service in Canada during 'winter' months, but were eventually pulled because it was discovered they are USELESS in icing conditions.. I wouldn't fly in one if it were the only plane left on earth, thanks! Cool vid, though!

  • @Vention3 I've flewn 100s of times with ATRs, and for Greece's conditions are excellent!! Even as a passenger, it feels great. Safety record is impeccable (all accidents were human error) unlike the DASHs which have many technical problems (latest was the main gear failures in Sweden and Denmark). These are nice planes as well though but I trust the robust ATR more!!

  • It was a cheap plastic Chinese propeller.

  • it has to do with how the camera records. the camera is not taking a picture at a time, it`s "scanning" a picture. hard to explain, but you would not have this effect with a better camera.

  • @Vention3 The companies who use them in Finland are very happy with the dispatch rate, I've not heard of any icing-related problems here either. The ATR has been in use in Finland since 1986 -- that is 25 years already.

  • @manhill actually what a lot of people don't know is the propeller bends forward while accelerating. The tips lean forward because the farther away you get from the base of the propeller, the weaker the propeller blades are. It only does this when accelerating because it basically grabbing the air thus causing the tips to bend forward. This is normal so don't worry they are designed to handle this haha

  • The force thats causing the blades to bend is called thrust bending force.

  • Ye olde rubber props, lol I think it may be the curve in the window combined with the camera angle that gave you that effect.

  • The effect is created by the shutter speed at 30 FPS. As the speed of the prop varies slightly you see this effect as if you had a stroboscope on the prop. With the right strobe speed the prop seems to slow, stop or even reverse. The same with the shutter speed. The camera shutter speed is resonant with the prop speed. Common optical physics. Cute video tho. Good job. 73 de N0RJP

  • @MisterBouncyBounce

    Well, I thumbed up the video for you! : )

  • @TheMostFamousChannel Indeed. lol
