Curtiss-Wright CW-3 Duckling

Flying Boats and Seaplanes

The Curtiss-Wright CW-3 Duckling, sometimes called the Teal, was an American two-seat amphibious flying boat developed by Curtiss-Wright from the CW-1 Junior. The designers added a plywood V-shaped underside to the Junior fuselage and strut-mounted pontoons, and mounted the engine above the wing driving a pusher propeller. Only three aircraft were built, the CW-3 with a 90 hp Velie M-5 radial, the CW-3L with a 90 hp Lambert radial and the CW-3W with a 90 hp Warner Scarab radial, one of each, and the type was not developed further because of a lack of funds.
