V Bristol tip 171 Sycamore je bil zgodnji helikopter, ki ga je razvila in zgradila helikopterska divizija letalske družbe Bristol. Ime se nanaša na semen drevesa sycamore, Acer pseudoplatanus, ki padajo z vrtečega se gibanja. Razločljivo je, da je prvi britanski helikopter, ki je prejel potrdilo o plovnosti, pa tudi prvi helikopter, ki ga je uvedel in služil kraljevemu letalstvu (RAF).
