Curtis Wright CW-2 "Flymobile" / "Wekcopter"

[Stingray]

Roadable coaxial-rotor helicopter designed by Mr. Curtis Wright in 1945. No relation to the Curtiss-Wright company. Powered by one 90hp Franklin 4AC199 engine.

 

[Stargazer]

I have also the same helo photographed unfinished with only the structure. There seems to be no evidence that the CW-2 ever flew.

By the way, where did you get the "Wekcopter" name from? First time I've heard it.

Please share.

The name was included in a document I found in my collection, presumably from Walter or another forum friend.
