Just detach the blades. You can always re-attach them when you've landed.

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.

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.
For ejection, the blades come off.
For combat, whole-rotor Beyblade.
I doubt you'll need to if you already had to eject.
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.
https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/1439/is-there-a-minimum-altitude-for-ejection-seats
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.
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
Isn't this just a variation of WW2 planes shooting their guns
successfully thru the propeller blades?
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
Why not blow the blades off first with a charge in the Jesus pin? Or have the seats eject siddeways or downward? Or like, open the door and jump out hoping you don't hit he rotors?
If you eject downward you may hit the ground before your chute has opened. Helicopters tend to stay pretty low.
