The Curtiss-Wright CW-15 Sedan was a four-seat utility aircraft produced in small numbers in the United States in the early 1930s. It was a braced high-wing monoplane with conventional tailwheel landing gear with a fully enclosed cabin, superficially resembling the Travel Air 10. At the time of the CW-15’s design, Travel Air had recently been acquired by Curtiss-Wright.
Designed by Walter Burnham, the CW-15 Sedan first flew in 1931 and 15 were built.
The -15 Sedan was initially produced with the 180 hp Curtiss Challenger and 210 hp Kinner C-5 engines, but the remaining examples were powered by 300 hp Wright Whirlwind (Sedan 15-D) and 245 hp Jacobs (Sedan 15-N).
