Thought some of you might find this fascinating:

It’s kind of mesmerizing the way the pairs of props synchronize to always swish past each other in the same places, and notice the front props appear to be a bit bigger diameter than the rears. I believe this is to keep the tip vortices from striking the rear prop tips. I imagine the rear props are probably pitched differently from the fronts too.
