Eject the helicopter not the seat. Duh.
Hear me out:
Seats that drop out of the bottom of the helicopter
Some Russian helicopters do this
How many of those are intentional?
F-104 did it first!
Did it work? Like are the test subjects still alive lol that sounds like rear decapitation city
I think the main problem with down-firing ejector seats was that they require a minimum altitude to work.

I’m gonna turn to YouTube to see what I can find. This is pretty cool. Cars should have ejector seats too.
They’d definitely have a minimum altitude to work
“And what’s the minimum altitude?”
“Uh, one, I suppose.”
What about sideways?
I think they did it in a fast and furious movie, I’m not sure if that’s up to NCD standards.
Just detach the blades. You can always re-attach them when you’ve landed.
I doubt you’ll need to if you already had to eject.
Works as a secret weapon too.
Oh you think I’ve been disarmed? *smirks* AMATEUR *violently ejects rotor blades in all directions*
I was just thinking the entire rotor assembly detaches and the helocopter falls away from it. But I think I like your idea better.
The angle of the top of his feet/boots remind me of the Ron DeSantis boot thing - where he’s actually using a platform type setup to gain height.
Attach the ejector seat TO the helicopter blades so that they both eject and you get a cool propeller and can fly around and it can shoot lasers and stuff too.
Just eject the damaged parts. Viola
So basing off another comment. Have the Ejection seat tied to the rotor and shaft (not in a way that the chair spins. Duh)
Then (as long as rotor hasn’t disintegrated) you can eject the seat with the rotor, thus minimizing filet chances… Whilst also floating to the ground softly like those whirly paper helicopter things you played with as a kid
Boom. Parachute free ejection seat
Hold up, let him cook
