Ejection Seats

Ejection seat for Eurocopter Tiger?

Doesn't Eurocopter Tiger fitted with an ejection seat similar to Kamov Ka-52?

Looking into your questions and looking at information on the helicopter the answer is no. The wind shield and side windows are designed so that in case of quick egress these can be blown off but there is No ejection seat. To date there are only 2 helicopters that I know of to have an ejection seat systems. They are the Kamov Ka-52 which upon the ejection handles being pulled the rotors are blown off and then the rocket is fired on the seat and the Mi-28 Havoc whic has blow away rotor but if I remember reading right the seats eject sideways and down. I don't think I would like to try either system, but over crashing and burning I think I would go for it anyway.

Russia is the country with 2 helicopters that are presently equipped with ejection seats systems, most all other countries USA, GB, Germany etc. haven't researched this further as 1. their pilots aren't thrilled of the possibility of becoming chop suey if the blow away blades fail upon ejection. 2. Blow away blades are very hard to get the timing right and the use of an ejection seat on a helicopter has not proven feasible to designers as by the time you do pull to eject the helicopter may have already crashed negating the use of the ejection system.

To date I do not think there has ever been a recorded ejection from either Russian Helicopter that I know of.
