Weird Ass Helicopter Video of the Day

By John

Stupid Russians and their freaky deaky whirlybirds.

Hotel Tango: Pinch, who writes that the vid is an: absolute perfect synchronization of the video camera shutter speed and the rotation of the chopper’s rotors.

Phew. I thought that Ivan had perfected hovercraft technology.

Looks more like anti-gravity technology.

This is not what you think. the rotor is actually turning normally. It is just an optical illusion due to the camera that is filming. A video consists of 30 frames per second. The blades at this particular video happened to rotate at a rate of 30 times a second, so it is just a matter of syncronisation, making the blades look this way .
