The above four subjects encompass the interests a lot of folk on here (OK, I'm the only aeroplane one!)

A quite interesting practical experiment looking at First World War aircraft and how the bullets from their forward-firing guns missed the propeller.
(From 4.30 they switch off the sync and shoot through the propeller).

Some of the camera work is at 120,000fps.
