   There seems to be some confusion with the term "Curtiss". If Curtiss is referred to as a surname, it's an English surname which has several notable bearers like Glenn Curtiss, an American aviation pioneer. However, Curtiss also refers to Curtiss-Wright Corporation, an American-based, global diversified product manufacturer and service provider which focuses on the areas like flight, tightly controlled environments, nuclear power controls and more.
