The Latécoère 340 was a three-engined, parasol-winged flying boat designed in France in 1929 for middle-distance overseas routes. Only a single prototype was built, and it was destroyed early in the testing programme, so no more followed. The type is a brief episode in the manufacturer's search for a medium-range overseas flying boat between its smaller early boats and the later large long-range designs.
