text: # 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-3W
