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.
