Are there ejection seats on helicopters? When it comes to ejection seats, helicopter design presents a special challenge. Helicopters, unlike fixed-wing aircraft, operate at lower altitudes and are slower, which makes conventional ejection seat systems inefficient. The presence of a propeller above the cabin adds to the challenge. Ejection through the rotor system can cause a catastrophic crash that endangers the aircraft and its crew. However, Russia overcame this problem and built its first ejection helicopter, the Kamov Ka-52. The way it works is when the pilot activates the ejection seat, the propeller at the top of the helicopter will automatically release. This prevents harm to the pilot and co-pilot. In addition, this helicopter is equipped with technology that can break glass to prevent the pilot from experiencing a collision when using the ejection seat.
