About
About Latecoere
Founded in 1917 and headquartered in Toulouse, Latecoere operates across aerostructures and interconnection systems for international aircraft manufacturers. Its work covers complex doors, fuselage and wing assemblies, rods and structural elements, along with electrical wiring and data-interconnection technologies. The company remains publicly traded in Paris and runs engineering and manufacturing operations across multiple regions.
Door programmes illustrate why Latecoere belongs in the subsystem layer: the supplier is responsible not only for fabrication but also design, development, certification and in-service support. Eve Air Mobility selected Latecoere for the doors on its electric vertical-takeoff aircraft under a long-term agreement spanning prototypes, production and aftermarket activity. That gives the company a direct role in advanced-air-mobility industrialisation while its broader revenue remains tied to conventional aerospace programmes.

The deliverable is a two-metre-long articulated all-composite underwing fairing mounted on the testbed’s starboard inner wing. The propulsion system combines a thermal engine with a 1 MW Collins Aerospace motor and targets a 30% fuel-burn and CO₂ improvement. Latecoere cited Comtek’s prior Pratt & Whitney Canada work and composite capabilities gained through its 2022 Comtek acquisition.
