As a very high added-value sector exporting most of its high-tech production and employing highly qualified labor, aeronautics has a significant position within the Normandy economy. In Le Havre, the aeronautics companies assert their dynamism and combine high-technology, success and quality of life.

 

 

Grouped together under the Haute Normandie AeroEspace designation, 11 major spatial and aeronautics plants of Upper-Normandy co-ordinate to strengthen their network of sub-contractors, promote the image of regional technology and develop cooperation in the field of R&D, training and recruiting.

A member of the new Safran group (Snecma and Sagem), Aircelle is the European leader in the field of aircraft nacelles. The Le Havre plant, with its 1,200 employees, produces jet engine nacelles and thrust reversers for commercial aviation.

The company has developed a complementary service for maintaining and repairing its products in Pont Authou: Aircelle Europe Services.

Thanks to its dynamism and technology, the European leader gained the market for the A380 nacelles and, in 2003, it delivered the first nacelle of the future Airbus jumbo jet.
Its nacelles are also used on the Airbus A340-500/600 and A318 airliners, the Embraer ERJ and Sukhoï RRJ regional jets and the Dassault Falcon 7X business aircraft.

 
 

Fruit of a close collaboration between Aircelle and the University of Le Havre, involving the sharing of human resources and equipment, the Groupement d’Intérêt Scientifique et Technologique (Technological and Scientific Interest Group) participates in the implementation and valorization of research and training potentials in the Le Havre region.

Among other departments, the University of Le Havre proposes a Design and Characterization of Composite Material Structures sector, which ensures training and research in an essential field for the aeronautics industry.
