That's not even how you throw a boomerang. This plane doesn't even have hands

Looks like the pilot divided by zero

Some aircraft can "feather", i.e. turn the props parallel to airflow in the event of engine failure to reduce drag.

That's just what it looks like when you record a propeller, and it's passing through the frame at a slightly higher framerate than the camera that is recording. Next time you're on a regional plane with a prop, look at the blades through your phone's camera. Same thing.

This is because most small digital cameras (like the ones on phones) have a rolling shutter that captures an image line by line, instead of all at once

No no no...

No, this doesn't make any sense at all!

Combination of two elements

This isn't a natural occurrence in every camera. It is a technique called rolling shutter photography, and it takes advantage of the stroboscopic effect which is the same thing that makes wheels appear to turn backwards when traveling at a certain speed.

Not every camera, just cameras with CMOS sensors, CCD sensors do not have this problem.
