Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (JA873A)
Comments
Spectacular Shot Cameron!
IMHO. Incredible how a beautiful aircraft can be transformed into something ugly by a weird paint job?
R2D2
Registration # typo: should be JA873A
Samuel Bixler thanks for pointing that out, fixed it
This isn't the droid I was looking for.
Agree with G Zorbas!
Looks like a Russian Tupolev version of a 787!
Photo question: How are the engine twirlies stopped, but the fan isn't?
AND it can give you the schematics to the Death Star!
Steve Smith, great question. The outline of the fanblades is there, my guess would just be that they are less defined so get more caught up in the blur of everything else going on than the thick white-on-black lines that make up the spinner. I'm not entirely sure though!
The answer is easy physics and geometry, but hard for me to explain.
The inner lines are parallel to rotation and travel slower and the blades on the outside are perpendicular to rotation and traveling much faster.

Slower linear velocity at the center than at larger circumferences.
