Hoover's coverage by Nancy Daniels

Overview

Once an aeronautical pioneer -- its engines powered the B-17 bomber and The Spirit of St. Louis -- Curtiss-Wright makes lower-visibility products these days. Curtiss-Wright is comprised of three business segments. Flow Control makes special valves for military and commercial applications, including nuclear submarines, nuclear power plants, and refineries. Motion Control makes actuation systems that control wing flaps, open bomb-bay doors, and stabilize aiming systems. Its products include sensors and electronic controls along with ruggedized computer systems for military ground vehicles. Metal Treatment technologies help prevent premature fatigue and corrosion failures.
