Curtiss-Wright

Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers

Curtiss-Wright is the aircraft make of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, formed on July 5, 1929 when twelve companies associated with the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company and Wright Aeronautical were combined. The corporation had an airplane division that built airframes, an engine division and a propeller division, and after 1929 its new designs carried either the Curtiss or the Curtiss-Wright name depending on where they were designed. During the Second World War it built almost 14,000 P-40 fighters, over 3,000 C-46 Commando transports and over 7,000 SB2C Helldivers, and afterwards it returned to aircraft design only occasionally, as with the X-19 tiltrotor. After the XF-87 Blackhawk lost its contract in 1948 the company closed its aeroplane division and sold the assets to North American Aviation; today it makes aircraft components and other industrial equipment, not aircraft.
