Judgeing at the picture , I am suprised at the top rotating rotars , they do not seem to be made of metallic material , it looks like its wood... ????
Can anyone elaborate why does the image gives an impression that the top rotator have wood like physical attributes ...

it looks like carbon fiber to me.........correct me if i am wrong!
Yups right, nowadays most of the material in aircraft are made up of Carbon Fibre Composites and similar stuff like that.
I think CF alone is not usable on halo wings because of its material properties. I think CF is only the composite carrier material of that composite.
Looks like the already cleaned out the engine and took it back for analysis , I am suprise there is still something left in that copter
How does the eject option works in these choppers you can't possibly go up use an eject seat with the rotors on top must be
a tricky thing to get out of the copter with it just out of control and moving in all directions

the roter blades are torn off by an explosion at the base of the blades and then the canopy flies off and the pilot seat jetisons as normal
the cut off you see is rougly where the blades before ejection are blown off.
check videos on helection ejection & it will make more sense
As for helos with the ejection seats, most designs use separation charges in the rotor head to separate the blades prior to the seats leaving. So they don't actually hit the blades on the way out -- hopefully.
In this case the rotor head did not separate -- seems like no ejection!
Furthermore, these helos are designed to fly low and fast - it would be a miracle if the separation system and the ejection sequence is successful at low levels of flight!
This is the reason that both the Apache and the Cobra does not have an ejection system but depend upon crash panels and armored panels for battlefield survivability.
