The Aerospatiale Corvette first flew in 1970 and went into service in 1974. Forty were built before the aircraft went out of production.

The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is aérospatiale.

aérospatiale was a French aerospace manufacturer that primarily builds both civilian and military aircraft and rockets.

The company was created in 1970 from the state-owned companies Sud Aviation, Nord-Aviation and Société d'Etudes et de Réalisation d'Engins Balistiques (SEREB).

In 1992, DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG (DASA) and aerospatiale combined their helicopter divisions to form the Eurocopter Group.

In 1999, aérospatiale merged with Matra Haute Technologie to form the Aérospatiale-Matra company. This division manufactures missiles as part of the MBDA consortium.

On July 10, 2000, Aérospatiale-Matra merged with other European companies to form EADS.
