Curtiss-Wright CW-3 Duckling
# Curtiss-Wright CW-3 Duckling

The Curtiss-Wright CW-3 Duckling (sometimes called the Teal) was an American two-seat amphibian flying-boat developed by Curtiss-Wright from the CW-1 Junior.

## Development

The Duckling was a modification of the CW-1 Junior. The fuselage had a plywood V-shaped underside added and the addition of strut-mounted pontoons. The engine was mounted above the wing driving a pusher propeller. Only three aircraft were built, all powered by different engines. The type was not developed due to lack of funds.

## Variants

    Prototype powered by a 90hp (67kW) Velie M-5 radial engine, one built.

### CW-3L

    Variant powered by a 90hp (67kW) Lambert radial engine, one built.

### CW-3W

    Variant powered by a 90hp (67kW) Warner Scarab radial engine, one built.
