Our History

Our corporate history dates back to the dawn of commercial and military aviation. We were created in the 1929 through the merger of companies originally founded by Orville and Wilbur Wright, and Glenn Curtiss, the father of naval aviation. These men were pioneers whose technological innovations paved the way for the air superiority that has been the backbone of U.S. defenses for nearly a century and spawned the modern commercial airline industry. During World War I, the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation was the largest military aircraft manufacturer in the world, employing more than 21,000 workers and producing more than 100 planes each week in support of America and her allies. Curtiss-Wright played an equally important role in World War II, as our factories built more than 29,000 aircraft, including the famous P-40 War Hawk plane used with such devastating effect against our enemies by the legendary "Fighting Tigers." Later, we built mission critical hardware for the Navy. Curtiss-Wright Flow Control technology can be found aboard every nuclear submarine and aircraft carrier ever commissioned by the military dating back to the launch of the very first-the USS Nautilus in 1953. Our sister companies provide important components that are used on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the Abrams tank, and on military aircraft including the F-16, F-18 and F-22, the JSF and the Global Hawk.
