They are successful because the tree produces so many and their design allows them to spread well away from the parent trees shade.
Maple seeds

Sycamore has wings which helps them to disperse easily.

it is dispersed by the wind
They are carried away by wind.
Sycamore seeds have a "wing" and when they fall off the tree this makes them whirl round like a helicopter. This slows their rate of fall and the wind takes them away from their parent tree, dispersing them.

They are called ash keys, they are winged, rather like straightened versions of the seeds of a sycamore.
When the seed breaks from the sycamore tree, its 'wing' makes it spin, but also makes its decent slower. This means that it can move further away from its parent tree when it falls, especially if there is a breeze or some wind.
