The Curtiss-Wright CA-1, also called the Commuter or the Courtney Amphibian, was an American five-seat biplane amphibian built by Curtiss-Wright at St Louis, Missouri. The British test pilot Frank Courtney designed it with an enclosed cabin for the pilot and passengers and a tricycle amphibian landing gear. A 365 hp Wright R-975E-1 radial engine was cowled into the leading edge of the top wing and drove a pusher propeller through an extension shaft. Only three were built, all sold to Japan, where the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service designated them Curtiss-Wright LXC, a Navy Experimental Type C Amphibious Transport.
