An integrated composite trailing edge and its method of manufacturing. The trailing edge comprises an integrated main structure having an upper cover, lower flanges, and a set of ribs extending between the upper cover and the lower flanges, with a set of sandwich type lower panels attachable to the lower flanges of the integrated main structure. The method comprises the steps of providing a set of prepreg laminated preforms over a set of tool modules having a hollow so that each laminated configures a double C-shaped laminated preform having an upper section with a recess, two primary and secondary flanges, the upper section partly forming the upper cover, the two primary flanges partly forming the ribs and the two secondary flanges forming the lower flanges.
