The Kaman HH-43 Huskie is a helicopter developed and produced by the American rotorcraft manufacturer Kaman Aircraft. [2] It is perhaps most distinctive for its use of twin intermeshing rotors, having been largely designed by the German aeronautical engineer Anton Flettner.

The Kaman HH-43 Huskie was a helicopter with intermeshing rotors used by the United States Air Force, the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps from the 1950s until the 1970s. It was primarily used for aircraft firefighting and rescue in the close vicinity of air bases, but was later used as a short range overland search and ...

After demonstrating the ability/ design of the K-225 to the US Navy and Coast Guard (the Navy bought two and the Coast Guard one) and the benefit of the synchropter design, Kaman was awarded a contract in 1950 to design a completely new helicopter for the Navy. Designated the HOK-1 the helicopter was to be designed to strict military ...

Kaman began development of the Huskie in 1950 for the Navy and Marine Corps. The prototype first flew in 1953. The helicopter’s twin intermeshed rotor configuration eliminates the need for a tail rotor, but the angle at which they must be mounted forces the rotor blades to approach very near the ground when the aircraft is landed making it ...

The Kaman K-600 / H-43 Huskie is a single-engine three-to-twelve-seat utility helicopter with intermeshing rotors produced by the US-American manufacturer Kaman Aircraft Corporation, today Kaman Aerospace Corporation. The Kaman K-600 was designated HUK-1 by the US Navy, the HOK-1 by the US Marine Corps and the H-43 by the US Air Force.

The H-43 Huskie [not "Husky"] was manufactured by Kaman Aircraft Corporation in Bloomfield, Connecticut. The "Huskie" was used primarily for crash rescue and aircraft fire-fighting.

Air Force evaluation of existing helicopter designs suitable for this job led to the choice of the Kaman 600, which was in production for the US Navy as the HOK-1. An initial production batch of 18 were ordered, differing only from the Navy model in equipment; first flown on 19 September 1958, and they were delivered as H-43As from November ...
