Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 Drache - "Zmaj" je bil helikopter s transverznimi rotorji, ki so ga razvili Nemci med 2. Svetovno vojno. Oba trikraka rotorja je poganjal 9-valjni Bramo 323 zvezdasti motor s 1000 konjskimi silami. Fa 223 je bil prvi serijsko proizvajani helikopter, vendar so zaradi zavezniškega bombardiranja tovarne zgradili samo 20 helikopterjev.
Fa 223 je imel potovalno hitrost 175 km/h. Lahko se je dvignil do višine 7100 metrov. Tovorna sposoobnost Drache-ja je bila 1000 kilogramov.
