Other Aircraft
The Kamov Ka-50, which entered limited service with Russian forces in 1995, was the first production helicopter to be fitted with an ejection seat. The system is very similar to that of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft; the main rotors are equipped with explosive bolts and are designed to release the blades moments before the seat rocket is fired.
The Lunar Lander Research Vehicle (LLRV)/Training Vehicle (LLTV) used ejection seats. Neil Armstrong ejected on 6 May 1968; Joe Algranti & Stuart M. Present, later.
Early flights of the NASA's Space Shuttle were with a crew of two, both provided with ejector seats, (STS-1 to STS-4), but the seats were disabled and then removed as the crew size was increased.
The Soviet shuttle "Buran" was planned to be fitted with K-36RB (K-36M-11F35) seats, but it was unmanned on its single flight; the seats were never installed.
The only spacecraft ever flown with installed ejection seats were the Space Shuttle, the Soviet Vostok and American Gemini series.
