TNCA Serie E

The TNCA Serie E was a family of various monoplanes built in Mexico by the Talleres Nacionales de Construcciones Aeronáuticas (National Aeronautical Construction Workshops).

The first aircraft of the Serie E family was a low-wing monoplane with registration number 2-E-98, which was dubbed "Sonora", this airplane made its first flight on March 2, 1922.

It was powered by a 82 kW (110 hp) le Rhône 9J 9-cylinder rotary engine, exceeding expectations, with performance significantly higher than similar aircraft at the time.

Despite its benefits, the plane was not produced in series, because for was the Technical Consultant of the Aviation Department Ralph O'Neill, the aircraft could not be used for military purposes.

The "Quetzlcóatl" was powered by a 138 kW (185 hp) BMW IIIa 6-cylinder water-cooled in-line engine and its fuselage was mostly built of wood.
