Date formatting for non-military aviation subjects

As the Curtiss-Wright Corporation is a publicly owned commercial aerospace manufacturer (as are, for instance, Boeing, North American Aviation, and McDonnell Douglas), it is a non-military (ie "civil") US aviation topic for which the correct date format for its article is Month/DD/YYYY which is also the same formatting used in the Boeing, North American Aviation, McDonnell Douglas and other similar articles. Centpacrr (talk) 21:37, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You fail to realize that Curtiss-Wright makes more money off of power generation and military work than actual commercial aerospace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.99.180.23 (talk) 14:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV Language of statement re Calspan in Post-World War II section

Second paragraph of this section.

Pointing out irony doesn't seem like NPOV: "For an aircraft company that failed largely due to lack of sufficient research and development during World War II, it is ironic that Curtiss-Wright's flight research division was one of the few parts of the once-huge aviation conglomerate to survive to the present day." (Last sentence of 2nd paragraph.)

But what do I know? I'm not an aviator.

I disagree; irony is not a NPOV issue, it is a perfectly legitimate literary device used to transition or highlight in formal writing. Any NPOV issue would be not about irony but sourcing the judgemental term "failed" along with the explanation thereof. Gsnerd (talk) 01:21, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it falls under WP:EDITORIAL, and should not be used. It's presenting a conclusion in Wikipedia's voice, and is judgemental. It will be removed. oknazevad (talk) 12:18, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UNDUE section - defective engines

Is the section on defective engines delivered during WW2 being given undue weight in this article? It seems like something that should be part of the history section but not half as long as the entire corporate history through WW2. Springee (talk) 15:52, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing Vehicle (VTOL)

I recall from the very early 1960s that Curtiss-Wright had discussed with shareholders their interest in Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing Vehicles. What has happened with those VTOL efforts (Curtiss-Wright X-19)?^[1]^[2]
