In Soviet Russia, helicopter doesn't push the air, the air push the helicopter....

Similar to the photography equivalent:
Frame rate matching blade rotation, not sure what this phenomenon is called without looking it up, but there's a name for it. Similar to when you were a kid watching the ceiling fan appear to roll backwards and forwards again without actually changing direction.

I love me some Danny T, (and werewolf for that matter), but this phenomenon is not related to frame rate. The picture of the turbo prop all messed up like that is a property of 'rolling shutter' vs. 'global shutter', not FPS. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_shutter)
Equally cool effect, but different root cause and manifestation.
