Why not eject the rotor, Yu-Gi-Oh style

Sus. I watched AirWolf, and Magnum P.I. AND I’ve studied Leonardo di Vinci. Helicopters are next-gen tech and they don’t crash.

Ironically the helicopter casted as Airwolf did crash, killing all its occupants. 😞

High chance the rotor has dramatically slowed if the eject is necessary

You are not thinking of crashes. The rotor won’t have any time to slow down if the helicopter is about to crash into a building or the ground for reason unrelated to engine (or similar components) failure

You should be able to switch the engine off and autorotate down in any modern heli design.

If not then explosive bolts on the blades are a proven method to make an ejection seat work even if they’re spinning.

Yeah, I know but in this probably fictional scenario something has gone so bad that it’s impossible to autorotate.

Autorotation also only works well at higher altitudes.

But it just might be a lunatic that seat is for.

What we really need is a seat that ejects you directly into the ground

The designers of the Tu-22 would like a word.

Instead of ejecting the pilot away from the helicopter, why not design the helicopter to eject away from the pilot?

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*

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.

I was just thinking the entire rotor assembly detaches and the helocopter falls away from it. But I think I like your idea better.

For ejection, the blades come off.

For combat, whole-rotor Beyblade.

NonCredibleDefense

!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Create post

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don’t be an idiot.
