Quality Control in Curtiss‐Wright Plants

Abstract

CONTROL of Quality during the manufacture and assembly of our modern, high‐performance military aeroplanes is without question of paramount importance., “Quality” in itself is a rather intangible property that creates for a product, whether it be aeroplanes, radios or roller skates, its reputation. To have a good reputation as a high quality product, a device must comply with the specification requirements of the customer, give entirely satisfactory service, be dependable and, in short, “deliver the goods”. Specifically, the most important characteristics of a military aeroplane from a quality control standpoint are as follows in the order of their importance.
