Revue aerospatiale was a monthly magazine published by the French aerospace company Aérospatiale.

History

Aérospatiale created the magazine Aérospatiale in January 1970 as part of its public relations effort. The publication was, to start, a monthly, and was edited by PEMA-2B. 128 issues were published through 1983.

At that point, the magazine was restructured with the addition of professional journalists, became bilingual (English and French), and was renamed Revue aerospatiale. The magazine was not just in-house but also covered competing firms, which helped to push circulation to a typical 50,000 copies.

Publication ceased in 2000 when Aérospatiale became part of EADS, and the magazine transitioned into Planet Aerospace.
