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.[1]
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.[2] 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.[2]
