Talleres Tezuitlan

September 1942, a new Mexican primary trainer, the Tezuitlan designed by Antonio Sea and making extensive use of mahogany ply in its construction, commenced flight testing.

Powered by a 125 hp Lycoming engine. The Teziutlan was designed to operate from Mixico’s high-altitude airfields and utilised 95% nationally-produced materials. Construction is all-wood.

Forty five were ordered for the FAM, but, in the event, the considerable infusion of training aircraft from the USA that commenced at this time rendered the Tezuitlan surplus to requirements, only five being completed.
