The Curtiss CR was a single-seat racing biplane that Curtiss designed for the United States Navy in 1921, with a monocoque fuselage and staggered single-bay wings of equal span braced with N-struts. Two landplane versions, the CR-1 and CR-2, were later converted to seaplanes as the CR-3 in 1923 and the CR-4 in 1924, and a refined version for the Army Air Service became the R-6. The CR-1 won the 1921 Pulitzer Trophy at 176.75 mph, Curtiss machines took the first four places in 1922, and the CR-3 floatplanes finished first and second in the 1923 Schneider Trophy race. The R-6 broke the world speed record in 1922 and 1923 and led to the XPW-8 fighter.
