The Fregate-F100; the new-generation amphibious water bomber aircraft; meets the challenges of wild fire fighting, thus preserving the environment and strengthening the industrial sovereignty of France and partner nations. With doubled operational capacity, this aircraft will bring enhanced capacity and efficiency for renewing aging fleets and equipping accession countries.

Latecoere will provide technical exchanges and advice to support the design, certification and maintainability of the aircraft, as well as its promotion to potential customers worldwide.

By partnering with HYNAERO, Latecoere confirms its commitment to technological innovation for environmental protection and civil security. The Fregate-F100 will reduce the impact of fires on ecosystems, thus contributing to the fight against runaway climate change.
