History of Ejection System

In 1916 Everad Calthron, an early inventor of parachutes, patented an ejector seat using compressed air

The first ejection seats were developed independently during World War II by Heinkel and SAAB
The first aircraft to be fitted with such a system was the Heinkel HE 200 prototype in 1940

Reducing the time The moment crew leaves the aircraft to The time parachute halts the fall

A helicopter is not a fixed wing airplane and usually operate at altitudes that ejection or bail outs are not possible.

If a missle hits a chopper little time to eject.
