Curtiss-Wright CW-22

Military Aircraft

The Curtiss-Wright CW-22 was a 1940s American general-purpose advanced training monoplane built by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation at its St. Louis factory and operated by the United States Navy as the SNC-1 Falcon. It developed from the CW-19 by way of the single-seat CW-21 light fighter-interceptor, and was a two-seat, low-wing, all-metal aircraft with retractable tailwheel landing gear and a Wright R-975 Whirlwind radial engine. The prototype first flew in 1940. The main customer was the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force, which took 36, the improved CW-22B was sold to Turkey, the Netherlands East Indies and South America, and the Navy ordered 305 SNC-1 trainers.
