Russian ejection seat for LSAs

Post by zaitcev »

Designers of the famous Zvezda K-36 seat found a new project: they developed an ejection seat for light aircraft. The main goal was to build a cheap one. It's called "KS-2012".

In the world where BRS is a well known brand, this is going to remain a novelty, I expect. Still, here's one funny thing. Someone posted a blog article about it, and apparently the test program for the seat used a modified Evektor SportStar. Ignore the text and look at the picture here:
