Curtiss-Wright CW-12

General Aviation and Light Aircraft

The Curtiss-Wright CW-12 Sport Trainer was a high-performance training biplane built in the United States in the early 1930s and also marketed under the Travel Air brand that Curtiss-Wright had recently acquired. Herbert Rawdon and Ted Wells designed it, together with the closely related CW-16 Light Sport, as a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings braced by N-struts, with the pilot and instructor in tandem open cockpits. It was offered with a choice of engines: the CW-12K had a 125 hp Kinner K-5, the CW-12Q a 90 hp Wright-built de Havilland Gipsy and the CW-12W a 110 hp Warner Scarab, and 40 CW-12s were built in all.
