History
The origin of Curtiss-Wright stretches back to a windy December day in 1903, when inventors Wilbur and Orville Wright launched their homemade flying machine into the air above Kitty Hawk, N.C. Another historic year in aviation came in 1929, as the Wright Aeronautical Company merged with Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company to form the Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
Curtiss-Wright Controls, a division of Curtiss-Wright Corporation, emerged in the late 1960s as a natural growth of our decades of expertise in precision design, engineering and machining of propellers and transmission systems. Since then, we have focused our efforts on the design, engineering and production of mechanical, hydraulic and electromechanical control and actuation systems for aerospace, industrial and defense applications. Today, our company is a recognized leader in high-quality cost-effective motion control solutions.
Curtiss-Wright Controls Integrated Sensing produces a wide range of sensors and subsystem solutions for aerospace, defense and industrial applications.
Systems integrators and platform manufacturers in the aerospace, defense and industrial markets turn to us for solutions that are as cost-effective as they are cutting-edge.
Curtiss-Wright Controls Integrated Sensing is the global leader in the field of high-precision engineered controllers and sensors. We specialize in the production of high-performance linear variable differential transformers, solenoids, avionics, control electronics, fire detection systems and manual controllers. Our diverse products range from potentiometric position sensors in jet aircraft to aircraft cargo hold smoke detectors to Formula 1 racecar sensors and joysticks on powered wheelchairs.
Our products are designed as component- and subsystem-level solutions that integrate seamlessly with our customers’ existing infrastructure. These intuitive solutions ultimately reduce the number of suppliers while increasing the harmony across every level of integration. Better still, each and every one of our products is developed and manufactured with the functionality and reliability you’ve come to expect from Curtiss-Wright Controls Integrated Sensing.
