The Fairey Ultra Light is a British experimental helicopter developed by Fairey Aviation Company in the early 1950s. It was designed for possible use from the decks of small naval vessels and for operation in demanding conditions where traditional helicopters would have been too large. The prototype made its first flight in 1955 and participated in numerous demonstration tests showcasing the innovations of the Cold War era. Ultimately, however, it never entered mass production, but it made its mark in aviation history as a technological curiosity and a sample of postwar British engineering thought.
