The Fairey Ultralight helicopter (ULH) stands proudly amidst the crowd, showcasing its sleek design and cutting-edge technology that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in rotorcraft engineering. Intriguingly compact yet undeniably powerful, this ULH represents a pivotal moment in aviation history when helicopters were being explored for various applications beyond traditional military use.
