that is an artifact of the filming, just like wagon wheels going backwards in a western

How can you be sure that what we see on film is the same as real life ? Have you flown in a real prop plane ? Some here have and they assure us that we are not supposed to see much more than a faint glare.. So, who's right? Salute ! |

it is not just a camera optical illusion, it appears the same to the eye too, and indeed the way it appears depends on the rpm. I haven't seen them on real airplanes, yet I have seen them on plenty of real helicopters. the same effect actually can be seen on any rotating blades (propellers, car wheels protection plastics, old trains spiked wheels, etc).
where are real pilots flying single engine aircrafts (and not flying them just once), to answer this? ps: and I'm not angry at all, just letting you know. |

EDIT: And as I just fly for fun when getting the time I don't have more than ~400 hours, but that is a lot more than "once" at least ;) |
i have flown a trainer prop plane, and didnt see any prop. apart from when engine was off of course :)

But there you go..2 pilots...Same conclusions... Salute ! |
I'm a private pilot IRL, if we would have the prop visible like that it would be hard flying VFR. ;)
That would be a real safety issue obscuring my view forward. It looks just like that in the russian version with filter off and throttle idle. At high rpm and the sun low at 6'o clock you see a thin yellow arc from the props tip. |
You can see the prop BECAUSE THAT WAS TAKEN WITH A CAMERA.
I've flown in single engine prop planes multiple times, in multiple kinds of aircraft, you can't see the prop in any of them. |
