	The Curtiss-Wright Corporation
		Wright engines also powered the DC-1/DC-2, and DC-3 aircraft and enabled Douglas to design the DC-1 as a twin-engine plane rather than as a tri-engine.
		Curtiss also produced the SB2C Helldiver naval scout-bomber, which first flew in December 1940, but didn't enter service until 1943 because of an unstable design and other problems that had to be overcome.
		Curtiss propellers went on several major airliners, and the R-3350 engine evolved into an efficient power plant, which was used until jets became dominant.

	Curtiss-Wright and Wright-Dayton Companies
		While the brothers spent much of their time pursuing their patent suit against Glenn Curtiss and others, the Wright Company concentrated on building small numbers of aircraft, developing new models, and running a training school for military and civilian flyers.
		The Navy asked both Wright and Curtiss to produce the new radial engines but neither was interested.
		Wright was doing well with its Model E and saw no reason to change.

	Curtiss-Wright Corp. v. Schoonejongen, 514 U.S. 73 (1995).
		Curtiss Wright petitioned for certiorari on the questions whether a plan provision stating that "[t]he Company" reserves the right to amend the plan states a valid amendment procedure under §402(b)(3) and, if not, whether the proper remedy is to declare this or any other amendment void ab initio.
		With respect to the Curtiss Wright plan, for example, to identify "[t]he Company" as the person with amendment authority is to say, in effect, that the procedure for identifying the person with amendment authority is to look always to "[t]he Company." Such an identification procedure is more substantial than might first appear.
		In concluding that Curtiss Wright's reservation clause sets forth a valid amendment procedure, we do not mean to imply that there is anything wrong with plan beneficiaries trying to prove that unfavorable plan amendments were not properly adopted and are thus invalid.

		The Wright brothers perfected their design to the point where they could sustain flights of 24 miles in which they could bank, turn and do "figure eights." But in 1905, when the Wright brothers offered their invention to the United States army, it was rejected without any consideration.
		Wright bought his company and installed him as Chief Engineer, starting what would be their principal business for the next 40 years.
		Curtiss made advancements in the development of propeller design with the variable pitch propeller, the hollow-steel propeller, and the concept of "feathering"-disengaging a propeller from an inactive engine to prevent engine rotation.

	Curtiss-Wright
		In 1935, Wright introduced the R-1820 Cyclone F-50 series, which produced up to 820 horsepower, and soon after, the Cyclone G, rated at 950 horsepower.
		A later Wright engine, the R-3350, which was troublesome at first, would power the B-29 bomber.
		Curtiss also produced the SB2C Helldiver naval scout-bomber, which first flew in December 1940, but didn't enter service until 1943 because of an unstable design and other problems that had to be overcome.

	Curtiss/Curtiss-Wright
		Curtiss is well known for its flying boats and JN-4 Jenny of World War I. Curtiss continued to develop aircraft engines as well as aircraft after World War I. During the 1920s, Curtiss was famous for its fighters and racers.
		Curtiss developed several famous aircraft during World War II including the P-40 Warhawk fighter and the C-46 Commando transport.
		Neither Curtiss or Wright successfully made the transition to the jet age and substantially all aircraft assets were sold to McDonnell and North American by 1950.

		Then the big and little Americas (of 1916-18) and their descendants, the F boats of Felixstowe, from which descend alltrans-Atlantic boats...Then the N.C. boats, first across the Atlantic, and the string of Curtiss record-breakers, and Schneider winners.
		And the D-12 engine, from which the Rolls Falcon, and ultimately the Merlin are descended...So far as I know there is nobody in the World who has claim to have influenced aircraft design and production as he did, or had done.
		But the capitalists who bought the bogus Wright patents ganged up on Curtiss and `slapped him down,' as they say in the States, and he was too proud to fight back on propaganda.

		After this merger, the former Wright organization took over all of the engine and propeller manufacture while Curtiss concentrated on airplanes.
		This merger was completed by organizing two major divisions under their original names, but under the direction of a corporate headquarters located in New York City.
		The election of former Wright personnel to key corporate positions soon led to Wright becoming the dominant division.
