Excellent article.<p>I remember a few years back holding my mobile to the window to take a photo of the scenery while on a turbo prop passenger aircraft. I nearly had a heart attack when I noticed the propeller had stopped spinning!<p>Once I got over the initial shock and realised it was just rolling shutter on the phone screen I had a bunch of fun taking photos and videos of the effect in action. I'll try and dig up one of the videos and post it here later.
Excellent article. Presumably at least part of the problem toward the end is that it's based on the assumption the propellor moves at a constant speed; since the plane is not mid-flight, I would guess it's probably accelerating.

Here's some information about a different type of shutter, and camera, and imaging technology: <a href="http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?31903-Jacques-Henri-Lartigue-and-his-camera" rel="nofollow">http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?...</a>
