Effect Kopp-Etchells

Description

This effect is observed during the motion of the helicopter in a sandy cloud (E.g., during landing or takeoff in the desert). The blades of a helicopter are faced with the grit and sand carve the living daylights out of the helicopter blades. It looks most spectacular at dusk and night.

This is a vivid example of triboluminescence.
