Hear me out:

Seats that drop out of the bottom of the helicopter

That way, the pilots can get to the ground first and cushion the impact of the helo 👌

Just do a barrel roll while ejecting so you shoot up. Try not to hit your wingman with your copilot tho

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.

I think they did it in a fast and furious movie, I'm not sure if that's up to NCD standards.

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

I'm gonna turn to YouTube to see what I can find. This is pretty cool. Cars should have ejector seats too.

[-] swab148@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

They'd definitely have a minimum altitude to work

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

"And what's the minimum altitude?"

"Uh, one, I suppose."

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

Some Russian helicopters do this

How many of those are intentional?

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.
