HISTORY OF

MEXICAN AVIATION
On January 8, 1910, the first flight of

an airplane was made, which took off

from some plains of the Hacienda de

Balbuena located next to Mexico City.

The feat was carried out by the

Mexican Alberto Braniff aboard a

French-made Voisin aircraft, thus

initiating the history of national

aviation.
It is worth mentioning that this flight was also the first made

in a Latin American country, and the fact that an airplane flew

at the height of Mexico City (2,240 meters above sea level)

provided even more merits to the feat.

A short time later, the well-known sportsman Miguel Lebrija,

who had distinguished himself as a pilot of balloons and

gliders, as well as a driver of racing cars, obtained from the

cigar company El Buen Tono a Blériot plane whose pilot – a

Frenchman – had not been able to fly. Thus, on May 14, 1910

Lebrija made the first of a long series of flights, also using the

plains of Balbuena

First Flight in Monterrey 1911

During part of the months of February and March

1911, the group of pilots, mechanics and aircrafts that

integrated the Moisant International Aviation made

exhibition flights in the cities of Monterrey, Mexico

and Veracruz. Among the pilots were the famous

Roland Garros, Edmond Audemars and Rene Simón,

who used Blériot XI aircrafts. In Monterrey they used

as an airfield a plain next to the Zambrano Park; in

First flight by plane over Monterrey,

Mexico, they acted in Balbuena, and in Veracruz they

used a flat land located by the course of Santa Fe.

Mexico.
First plane built in Mexico
Juan Guillermo Villasana had been working

for almost two years on the construction of

an aircraft commissioned by Jacques

Poberejsky. This work consisted of

reproducing a Deperdussin by Martín

Mendía using Mexican materials, although

the engine and propeller were brought

from France. On April 19, 1912, in the

plains of Balbuena and before a large group

of friends and companions of the incipient

aviation, Poberejsky made a successful first

flight, provoking great enthusiasm in the

attendees; but the plane broke on landing

as it left the field and crashed into a ditch.

It was the Latin American aircraft, the first

of those built in Mexico.

MEXICAN AIR FORCE
The Mexican Air Force has its origin in

1915, when the then Chief of the

Constitutionalist Army, Don Venustiano

Carranza, convinced of the enormous

possibilities of the use of Aviation in the

Campaign, issued on February 5, 1915

the decree by which el arma de aviacion

militar was created.

using advanced software and tools.
FIRTS STEPS
To create the modern aircraft, Rodrigo and Raúl
Fernández, president of the company, brought together a
team of highly qualified engineers and used state-of-the-
art software both for design and modeling as well as for
aerodynamic behavior simulations.
 THE PROTOTYPE
Some time later, the Oaxaca Aerospace company
presented the first prototype of the technological
plane, which surprised many people for its great
