The Aviat Husky is a two seat, high wing, utility light aircraft built by Aviat Aircraft of Afton, Wyoming.

It is the only all-new light aircraft that was designed and entered series production in the United States in the mid to late 1980s.

Design work by Christen Industries began in 1985. The aircraft is one of the few in its class designed with the benefit of CAD software. The prototype first flew in 1986, and certification was awarded the following year.

The Husky has been one of the best-selling light aircraft designs of the last twenty years, with more than 650 sold since production began.

The plane features a braced high wing, tandem seating and dual controls. The structure is steel tube frames and Dacron covering over all but the rear of the fuselage, plus metal leading edges on the wings. The high wing was selected for good all-around visibility, making the Husky ideal for observation and patrol roles. Power is supplied by a relatively powerful (for the Husky's weight) 180 hp (134 kW) Textron Lycoming O-360 flat four piston engine turning a constant speed propeller. The Husky's high power loading and low wing loading result in good short-field performance.

Options include floats, skis and banner and glider tow hooks.
