Curtiss-Wright Corporation - Our Roots The principal companies in that merger were The Wright Aeronautical Corporation, originally The Wright Company started by the brothers themselves in 1909 and The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company derived from Curtiss' first enterprise in aviation, the Curtiss Motor Company, begun in 1911. The Curtiss-Wright Corporation was cast in 1929, merging two pioneer names in American aviation, those of Wilbur and Orville Wright and Glenn Hammond Curtiss. Our corporation most certainly has a claim to the rich pre-1929 heritage left us by its three namesakes; they started American aviation history and founded the aircraft industry in the United States. www.curtisswright.com /history/1884-1929.asp

Curtiss-Wright Corporation - The Spirit of Innovation 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. Wright bought his company and installed him as Chief Engineer, starting what would be their principal business for the next 40 years. Wright Aeronautical now had a first-class product and looked for a way to advertise the engine and show it to the world. www.curtisswright.com /history

Major Contributor to the Evolution of Aircraft Design Upon the merger of Travel Air with the Curtiss-Wright Airplane Company, Walter Beech became President of the new corporation. Curtiss was the first builder of seaplanes in the U.S. He was awarded the first contract to build the U.S. Navy planes. Wilbur Wright was born on April 16, 1867 in Millville, IN and Orville Wright was born on August 19, 1871 in Dayton, OH. www.mae.ncsu.edu /courses/mae371

Curtiss-Wright Corp. v. Schoonejongen, 514 U.S. 73 (1995). Petitioner Curtiss Wright Corp. amended its employee benefit plan to provide that the post retirement health care coverage it had maintained for many years would cease for retirees upon the termination of business operations in the facility from which they retired. Curtiss Wright's reservation clause sets forth a valid amendment procedure. The answer will depend on a fact intensive inquiry, under applicable corporate law principles, into who at Curtiss Wright had plan amendment authority and whether they approved the new provision. supct.law.cornell.edu /supct/html/93-1935.ZS.html

The Wright Brothers and the Invention of the Airplane The Wright brothers moved toward the development of a practical flying machine through an evolutionary chain of seven experimental aircraft: one kite (1899), three gliders (1900, 1901, 1902) and three powered airplanes (1903, 1904, 1905). Unwilling to unveil their technology without the protection of a patent and a contract for the sale of airplanes, the Wright brothers did not make public flights until 1908, at which point they emerged as the first great international heroes of the century.

Smaller and simpler that cabin aircraft such as the Curtiss Robin, Curtiss-Wright designed the Junior especially for the low-budget sportsman pilot and the fixed-base operator who wished to offer flying time at a rate within reach of the average flying populace. This movement, which began before the depression and lasted over a period of two decades, sought to produce a mass-market, affordable, personal aircraft that would appeal to the average American citizen. www.nasm.si.edu /research/aero/aircraft/curtiss_cw1.htm   (827 words)
