The Focke-Wulf A 43 Falke (Falcon) was a light utility aircraft developed in Germany in 1932. The last project undertaken by the company under the technical direction of Henrich Focke, was a high-wing strut-braced monoplane of conventional design, with a fixed tailwheel undercarriage. The pilot and two passengers sat in a fully enclosed cabin. Only a single example was built. In 1932, it was the fastest airliner in Europe.
