The Curtiss-Wright CW-16 Light Sport was a high-performance training and sport biplane built in the United States in the early 1930s, the sister type of the CW-12 Sport Trainer and, like it, also marketed under the Travel Air brand that Curtiss-Wright had recently acquired. Herbert Rawdon and Ted Wells designed both as conventional single-bay biplanes with staggered wings braced by N-struts, with the pilot and a second occupant in tandem open cockpits, but the forward cockpit of the CW-16 could seat two passengers side by side. It was sold with a choice of engines, as the CW-16E with a Wright J-6 Whirlwind 5, the CW-16K with a Kinner B-5 and the CW-16W with a Warner Scarab. Some were exported as trainers, to the air forces of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador and to the Argentine Navy.
