Not wishing to upset anyone... but has anyone ever seen a real prop move like that? I understand it's a nice visual feature, but I'm not convinced it's realistic.

My understanding is that the only time you'd see the individual blades at an angle other than fully fine on a constant speed prop would be if the prop had been feathered. Because the pitch is controll...

The Empire State Building is just in front of the outboard prop. The flight was from the Republic Airport i...
