Mi-8 Helicopter Main Rotor Blade in Flight
This is a view of the Mil Mi-8 helicopter that you probably haven't seen before - looking down one of the main rotor blades from the middle of the main rotor assembly (basically the Jesus nut's view of the rotor blade).

Holy crap... I'd be scared to lose camera.

It's only 192 rpm! I was expecting more lead/lag, but I guess that doesn't really start until faster airspeeds...
And I guess that near center it's not as horrible as it would be near tips of blades
