Wright Aeronautical Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wright Aeronautical was an aviation venture of the Wright Brothers.

Their first company, Wright & Co was formed in 1909. It merged with Martin in 1916 to form Wright-Martin but Glenn Martin resigned in 1917. The company was renamed Wright Aeronautical in 1919. Several engineers left in 1924 to start Pratt & Whitney. Wright Aeronautical merged in 1929 to become the Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
