You could just imagine the conversation at the Design works.

"We shall upgrade the Hind and install a VTOL engine!"

"But...sir..."

"No Buts!! I am chief designer! The Hind shall have Vertical Take off jet engines!!"

Seriously though....good video, shows how the eye can be deceived. :up:

Is that real?
I think the Soviets/Russians own most helicopter records.

[Polak]

No it is not real, it's an optical ilusion. ;)
Playing with frame rates.

I'm trying to see if its a model or not. It almost looks like a model until the gear retracts.

Comments from the 2nd HIND UFO film:
Love how the camera's frames per second are perfectly timed w/ the rotor blades...Wonderful effect!! For those that don't get it..NO the blades are NOT sitting still...

(Reply)

It's called aliasing, and it's the same effect that makes tires appear to be spinning backwards in car commercials.

The big giveaway is the soundtrack - assuming it's the real soundtrack - you can clearly hear the characterisic thumping noise of a main rotor (caused by the air compressing in front of a rotating blade).

Still it's pretty freaky all the same.

Obviously the Russians know a thing or two about helicopters that we don't know... Have you seen the warp gondolas under the stub wings?

needs less description is post.
