TNCA, the Talleres Nacionales de Construcciones Aeronáuticas (national aviation workshops) was an aircraft manufacturer established outside Mexico City in 1915. The main designers were General Brigadier and engineer Juan Francisco Azcárate, and italian engineer Francisco Santarini, who manufactured a variety of domestically-designed military aircraft and engines, including:

*TNCA Serie A - biplane.
*TNCA Serie C- monoplane, powered by a Hispano-Suiza engine. Also called "Microplano Veloz" and "Microbio".
*TNCA Serie D, F and G - derived from the Bleriot and Morane-Saulnier aircraft.
*TNCA Serie E- biplane.
*TNCA Serie H - bomber, monoplane, high wing, double control.
*TNCA MWT-1
*TNCA TTS-5
*3-E-130 - monoplane nicknamed "Tololoche".
*TNCA 4-E-131 Quetzalcoatl
*Avro 504 - built under license and called "Avro Anáhuac".
*Corsair O2U-4A - built under license and named "Corsario Azcárate."

The TNCA also designed and manufactured the 45hp Azatl, 80hp Trébol engines as well as the very high performance Anáhuac Propeller, later copied by several countries.

TNCA closed in 1930, it was briefly revived in 1941 under the name "Talleres Generales de Aeronáutica" (TGA) and again in 1947.
