You couldn't film that on purpose and that well even if you wanted it!

What would one expect from the birthplace of Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky

A fantastic example of the frames per-second phenomenon, frequently seen in videos of aircraft propellers, and computer and television screens. However, I've never before seen one showing a flying helicopter.

The frame rate of the camera combined with the counter rotating fans gives the illusion of a single set of not moving fans.

what's fantastic is that the engines' rpm stays steady during the whole show (or a multiple of 25 or 30 I guess).

Helicopter rotors generally stay constant rotation speed always. Speed and lift of the craft is usually controlled by tilting the rotor plane or the blade angles of attack.

right!
Thanks

Although I thought you had to adjust the rpm when pulling the thing that makes the rotor tilt...
Maybe with such engines they don't need it...?
