Wright Aeronautical was an aviation venture of the Wright Brothers.

The brothers formed companies in four countries, France (1908), Germany (1909), America (1909), and the UK (1913). The American company was first named Wright & Co, it merged with the Glenn L. Martin Company in 1916 to form Wright-Martin Aircraft Corporation but Glenn Martin resigned in 1917. The company was renamed Wright Aeronautical in 1919. Several engineers left in 1924 to start Pratt & Whitney. Wright Aeronautical merged with Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company July 5th 1929 to become the Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
