The Fairey Ultra-light Helicopter was a small British military helicopter for reconnaissance and casualty evacuation designed by the Fairey Aviation Company to be low cost and easily transportable. The project was a casualty of the UK defence economies of the later 1950s.

The Fairey Ultra-Light helicopter was one of several projects submitted in the mid 1950s to meet a British Army specification for a battlefield reconnaissance and general-purpose helicopter.1
