Mexicali, B.C.- With an investment close to 300 million pesos, the aeronautical manufacturing company, Honeywell Aerospace, presented the project called “Wind Tunnel” which was designed and built with the talent of local engineers. This tunnel is considered the largest in Latin America and is in Baja California.

During a tour between Honeywell executives and government authorities, it was exposed that the Tunnel was implemented to support the 777X platform of the Boeing aircraft (created to test the drag turbine), and generates speeds of up to 333 Km / h with a 3000 horsepower engine.

The operation of the Wind Tunnel monitoring and control system, the Test Facilities and the test area was also explained.

The Wind Tunnel began operations in 2017 and will allow for its characteristics, contribute to the development of aerospace engineering in the town in the coming years.

Emb-110 Bandeirante, the aircraft that started a dynasty, made and designed in Brazil





Mexico also tried to build twin engine aircraft for commercial use however the death of the head designer, lack of interest by the government and simply short sightedness never brought the Lascurain Aura to the levels EMB-110 brought Brazil

Lascurain Aura of 1957, a Mexican attempt to build an aircraft industry

Argentina tried too with two main designs the I.Ae 35 Huanquero and the IA-38 Naranjero

IA-50 Guarani from Argentina it was another Fabrica militar de Aviones product, designed and built in Argentina with very limited success



Brazil in the other hand had great success with the Xingu Emb-121



The Xingu was a foreshadow of the current Phenom 100, one of the best products of Embraer, and one nice aircraft designed and made in Brazil
