  Chopper with Ejector Seat, page 3
I think the ejection seat for helicopters is not practical as the others have already said.
The wearwolf ejector seats have a second time delay which detonates a series of explosive charges in sequence.
I would doubt they (the Russians) are using foreign ejector seats, their own are considered the best in the world (by the competition).

  Ejector seat
In (mostly military) aircraft, the ejector seat is a system designed to rescue the pilot or other crew in the event of the aircraft becoming unflyable.
The first ejector seats were developed during the war by Heinkel.
M-B ejector seats were fitted to prototype and production aircraft from the late 1940s, and the first emergency use of a Martin-Baker seat occurred in 1949 while testing the Armstrong-Whitworth AW.52 Flying Wing.

 Ejector seat
Soviet Yak-38 VTOL naval fighter planes were equipped with automatically activated ejection seats, mandated by the notorious unreliability of their vertical lifting powerplants.
Some aircraft designs, such as the General Dynamics F-111, do not have individual ejector seats, but instead, the entire section of the airframe containing the crew can be ejected as a single capsule.
The soviet's shuttle copycat "Buran" was planned to be fitted with K-36DM seats, but the first, unmanned, flight in 1988, on which the crew cabin was not yet installed, would be the only one.

 Ejector seat Information
M-B ejector seats were fitted to prototype and production aircraft from the late 1940s, and the first emergency use of a Martin-Baker seat occurred in 1949 during testing of the Armstrong-Whitworth AW.52 Flying Wing.
Early seats used a solid propellant charge to defenestrate the pilot and seat, by igniting the charge inside a telescoping tube attached to the seat.
Early flights of the US space shuttle were with a crew of two, both provided with ejector seats, but the seats were disabled and then removed as the crew size was increased.

 History of Ejection Propulsion
This was accomplished with an ejector seat which was powered by a propellant driven catapult - the first use of a propulsive element in aircrew escape.
All of these early seats were a collection of componentry including a parachute, a seat structure to which the aircrew and parachute were firmly attached, and a propulsive element which forcibly separated the seat and its contents from the aircraft.
Seat clears the ejection rails at approximately 50 feet per second and is essentially clear of surrounding cockpit structure.

 Crash jet's ejector seats disabled - National - theage.com.au
Ejector seats that might have saved the lives of two men who died during a joyflight yesterday were rendered inoperable, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority has confirmed
A CASA spokesman said the ejector seat could be used by military pilots to save their lives in similar situations.
But CASA had ruled the ejector seats should be disarmed for safety reasons because the firing mechanism uses explosive charges, the spokesman said.

 Ejector seat - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
An alternative to escape pods, Ejector seats were common safety devices in starships, particularly fighters.
Ejector seats were not entirely safe though, sometimes the pilot could get caught in the starfighter, or, in the case of Derek Klivian, collide with another ship.
Primarily, ejector seats served to provide for the survival of pilots, who were seen as more valuable and harder to replace than fighters.

 DINGHY DRILL TRAINING FOR TORNADO GR4 AND CANBERRA PR9 AIRCREW OFF LOWESTOFT   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Canberra PR9 ejector seat can be initiated by either the Navigator or the Pilot, though due to the debris from the ejector seat deployment via the navigators escape hatch in the front of the canopy it is ideally preferable for the pilot to eject first.
The canopy shatters and the Navigators ejector seat, followed a split second later by the pilot seat are both rock-propelled into the air, smashing through the remnants of the canopy.
Once the parachute is deployed, the ejector seat drops away from the airman and the tightly packed survival equipment drops from an umbilical cord.

 Self-cleaning ejector articulated truck
Because the body is not raised, the ejector truck can work efficiently on sites where overhead obstacles or stability issues limit the use of conventional dump trucks.
The ejector also prevents material from adhering to the inside of the truck body after the dump, so payload can be maximised, improving productivity, reducing fuel consumption and lowering cost per tonne.
The ejector mechanism includes a high-strength blade and technology similar to that on Cat Wheel Tractor scrapers, plus a four-stage, double-acting cylinder, specifically designed for horizontal mounting, which is centrally supported and nitrite-hardened for long service life.

 Your Place And Mine - Down - Inventors - Sir James Martin
The idea for the ejector seat came after Baker died in an accident whilst testing one of the Martin Baker aircraft.
Forty PSI writes: Whilst Martin-Baker have developed the ejection seat to the pinnacle it is currently at, for very much the reasons already stated, it is generally accepted that the invention itself came from the Swedish and the Germans.
This is all predated though by a RAF pilots concept in the 1930's to escape from an aircraft using a seat with large springs.

 Easy ejector seat with skeletal crash safety beam - Patent 6609754
The seats have limited lateral movement and are not free to move independent of the vehicle body in the event of a collision, thereby placing the passengers on the direct path of the energy transfer Maeda U.S. Pat.
The "Custom contoured seats" customized for each passenger may be created with a multi-element adjustable structure (manually with inserts or with computer controlled elements) that provide ergonomic passenger comfort providing where desired, lateral support in addition to the support that conventional seats provide, to cradle the entire lower body in the ejector seat.
Yet another embodiment raises he seat bottom at the time of egress and ingress with servos or pneumatic/hydraulic systems, so that the seat members on the sides of the sat are relatively lower to the seat bottom thereby facilitating egress and ingeress of the passenger.

 Show 1309 Human Slingshot Ride
On the ejector seat, force due to the ride alone may be up to 2g, but the force your body feels is actually 3g, once you add in gravity as well.
On the ejector seat, when gravity cancels out upward motion, the rider returns in a brief free fall and is actually weightless.
Both bungee jumping and the ejector seat ride depend on the elasticity in bungee cords to exert forces, whether stopping a falling jumper or launching a human slingshot.

 Martin Baker History   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Towards the end of the Second World War, emergency parachute escapes from military aircraft were becoming increasingly difficult, and the introduction of jet-powered aircraft with their vastly increased speed, virtually eliminated the possibility of a successful over-the-side bale-out.
After investigating alternative schemes it soon became apparent that the most attractive means would be by forced ejection of the seat with the occupant sitting in it, and that the most effective means of doing this would be by an explosive charge.
The U.S. Navy strategy for ejection seats over the next 20 years is based on NACES which was designed to the Pre-Planned Produced Improvement (P3I) philosophy so that it can be updated as new technology emerges.

Zvesda is one of the worlds leading manufacturers of ejection seats - and as anyone who saw the film of Anatoli Kovochur ejecting from his MiG 29 at the Paris Air Show will testify.
Over the last five years Zvesda has been working closely with the Sukhoi Design Bureau on the development of a light weight substitute for conventional ejector seats, which typically weigh 100kg or so, and rely on either explosive or rocket power to push the pilot and the seat clear of the aircraft.
