Originally posted by alexkusu:Ejection seats for helicopters
Actually, if I'm not wrong, there's a type of Russian military helicopter which does have ejection seats. When the pilot presses the ejection button, the rotors get blown off first. A few seconds later, the pilot himself gets blown out of the c*ockpit safely.
I don't remember the exact name and model of the helicopter, but I'll post it in Military Nuts if I do find an article on it.

Bingo: found the helicopter with ejection seats. The Kamov KA-50. You can read more about this helicopter here: http://www.aeronautics.ru/archive/vvs/ka52-01.htm
To quote from the website:
Another unique Ka-50 feature is the ejection seat - the main rotors are jettisoned before the pilot's seat is ejected. More than 35% of the Ka-50's structure by weight is of composites.
