{{for2|the ICAO code TNCA|Queen Beatrix International Airport|the Indian cricket board|Tamil Nadu Cricket Association}} The '''Talleres Nacionales de Construcciones Aeronáuticas''' ('''TNCA''') (national aviation workshops) was an aircraft manufacturer established outside Mexico City in 1915. TNCA closed in 1930, was briefly revived in 1941 under the name ''Talleres Generales de Aeronáutica'' (TGA) and again in 1947.
The main designers were Brigadier General and engineer Juan Francisco Azcárate, and Italian engineer Francisco Santarini, who manufactured a variety of domestically-designed military aircraft, propellers and engines.
