Hi hesham,

the TNCA Quetzalcoatl was the model 4-E-131, a two-seater light bomber or reconnaissance monoplane fitted with a 185h.p. B.M.W.
The model 6-E-136 was a version of the 4-E-131 known as Quetzalcoatl-Liberty with a 400h.p. Liberty.
The model 5-E-132 was a two-seater training monoplane fitted with a 80h.p. Le Rhone.
A picture and a 3-view of the 4-E-131 I have found in the JAWA of 1926/27.

Hi, Im a new member, being Mexican, Mexican Aviation greatly interests me.

Hi,

Mr. Juan Guillermo Villasana designed a Villasana No.1,it was an experimental helicopter built in Mexico between 1923 to 1925;

Very interesting, but slightly out of place as this was not a TNCA aircraft.

 

[Stargazer]

Here is the 1921 Brown Special, a biplane trainer with inline engine, designed and built by Lawrence W. ("Larry") Brown in the United States and assembled by TNCA in Mexico for use with the Fuerza Aeréa Mexicana. Larry Brown began to fly in 1914, and built his first aircraft in 1916 for aerobatics. He first wound up in Mexico as a mercenary pilot, and later as an aeronautical consultant for the Mexican government (he also had a small transport and agricultural work business). Four "Specials" are said to have been built, though possibly only two were assembled locally. Only number "51" is known.

Yes I know that,

but maybe built the TNCA company,also in Wikipedia,they included it under this company;

The list simply says that Villasana designed an aircraft called the Latino America for TNCA, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the same type. I'm not a specialist of Mexican aviation, so I couldn't say for sure, but I think one has to be careful before asserting things one isn't sure about.

Lenght: 7,20m
Height: 3,60m
Engine: Aztati (Garza Blanca) radial 6 cylinders.
Weapons: One 8mm machine-gun and 50kg bomb load.

And Photo of a drawing of the TNCA Serie A.

 

[hesham]

I forget the source for those pictures.

 

[Stargazer]

Nice photos.
The Vought Corsair certainly was not a TNCA aircraft.
Also, the first aircraft in the color illustration was co-designed by Villasena, which proves he drew a lot of planes. But it doesn't look like it's related to TNCA either...
Perhaps this topic should be renamed as "Mexican aircraft" to reflect the change in focus?

 

[hesham]

OK,no problem my dear Sykblazer,

we can change the title.

 

[hesham]

Maybe all of them were from TNCA,right ?.

Hi,


here is the TNCA Barrera or Barreda and Sonora aircraft.

I found an old monoplane airframe made of tubular steel with tandem seats and low wings. The guy who owned it said it was "Some Mexican Plane" and that there weren't very many of them made. That's all the information he had. I'm thinking it's a Sonora Tandem Seat aircraft frame however I can't find any pictures to back that up. The picture's i've taken i can't add here since it's not a link.

 

[hesham]

Welcome aboard James,

here is all Info;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNCA_Serie_E

 

[hesham]

From, Alas Mexicanas Historia de las Construcciones Aeronauticas Nacionales,

here are some pages about Fierro BC-1,BC-2 & BC-3.

 

[JamesSchwochow]

I thought it might be a tandem version of the Sonora 2 but I can't find any photos. Here's a picture of the airframe....
