Kaman HH-43 Huskie je bil helikopter s prepletenimi rotorji, ki ga je ameriška vojska uporabljala za gasilske in reševalne misije od 1950-ih do 1970-ih. Huskie je imel edinstveno zasnovo, ki je odpravila potrebo po repnem rotorju in mu omogočila, da lebdi in manevrira v tesnih prostorih. Huskie je poganjal batni motor ali turbogredni motor, odvisno od modela. Huskie je bil razporejen na različnih lokacijah po svetu, vključno z Vietnamom, kjer je izvajal iskalne in reševalne operacije pod klicnim znakom "Pedro". Huskie so sčasoma zamenjali novejši helikopterji, vendar ostaja izjemen primer inovacij in vsestranskosti v zgodovini letalstva.
