You are not right, I've asked at some point where are the real pilots to say from their own experience about this, and after some posted, I don't remember me continuing to insist on that matter.

And even so, they might be wrong. They might have been accustomed with it, and not really seeing it anymore. There were also other pilots saying that it can be observed in certain conditions.

I'm sure it's a much more complex problem to only be answered with a simple yes/no.

And why would not the wheel covers effect be the same? when on wiki is clearly put in the same category named "wagon wheel effect", together with the propellers and some other examples?

Thing is, some people might be more sensitive to it than others.

And more, I am saying that I saw the effect with my own eyes on car wheel covers and helicopter propellers. Have you not seen this effect with your own eyes while paying attention to it while in a plane cockpit, or looking at an aircraft/helicopter propeller? And if not, why are you here to argue about this?

PS: it quite funny to see your "A turning wheel on a car is quite different than a propeller. Please look at these two different objects when they are not in motion, just to be sure...." statement. And I'm pretty sure you're not so stupid as, while they are not the same objects indeed (and no one claimed they were), in to not see the similarity of those same named objects..

And this stops here, I do not wish to continue a stupid argument with some who it's obviously too thick to have a decent argument. Have a nice day, mr. Vevster and adieu and welcome to my ignore list. Feel free to do the same with me.

I have an old 1950's electric fan, three narrow blades, white plastic. I've switched it on and off a couple of times, not once did I see the effect of 3 three distinct blades rotating in the haze. You see the haze, or you see the blades when spinning down.

Then I did it again looking through my digital camera. Yes, now I did see the effect, on the screen.

Conclusion: No prop visible in real life. Anyone with a fan and a cam can do this experiment.

Some people are so limited that they dont allow reality to influence their point of view!

There is a saying related to einstein about the only two things that are limitless in this universe, but he was not shure in one instance.

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Of course!, someone had to spell it out!
