Farnborough Airshow 2026 Confirms 27 Aircraft With List Set to Expand

With under a month remaining until the 2026 Farnborough Airshow, organizers have confirmed 27 aircraft for attendance at the event. This total stands in contrast to the 103 aircraft present during the 2024 edition, which included 73 on static display and 46 in the flying display with some overlap in counting. ## Confirmed Aircraft Lineup The current roster features a range of civil, military, and historic types sorted by exhibitor. Airbus has scheduled its A350-1000 for flying demonstrations across multiple days. Beta Technologies will bring both the CX300 civil eVTOL for flying and static roles and the MV250 military eVTOL for static display only. Bombardier plans to fly its Global 8000 private jet throughout the week. Additional entries include the Czech Air Force C-390 Millennium and JAS-39 Gripen on static display, along with the L-159 for static and flypast appearances. Dassault Aviation lists the Falcon 6X as a static private jet, while DHL Air UK will show a B777-200LRMF freighter. Embraer has the 195-E2 on static and the C-390 Millennium for both static and flying segments. GE Aerospace contributes a Boeing 747-400 testbed on static and a Saab 340B testbed for static and flying duties. Other participants encompass General Atomics AeroTec Systems with the Do228 NXT, HeliOperations helicopters including the AW139 and Sea King, and Qatar Airways with a Boeing 777-300 and Gulfstream G700, both static. ## Military and Historic Displays Military contributions feature the RAF Eurofighter Typhoon for a flypast on the final day and the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team performing that same day. The Rolls-Royce Vickers Supermarine Spitfire is set for flying on Thursday and Friday. The Starlings Aerobatic Team will fly on the closing day, while Ultimate Warbird Fight offers the P-51D Mustang for static and flying. The United States Air Force F-35A Lightning II Demo Team is confirmed for flying demonstrations each weekday. Vertical Aerospace rounds out the list with its VA-1X civil eVTOL on static display. Further updates to the roster are anticipated as the show date nears. ## Notable Absences and Future Additions Major manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing appear with limited representation at present. Airbus has secured the A350-1000 for demos yet typically fields a broader selection including A220, A320 family, and A330 types along with customer aircraft. Boeing maintains plans for a substantial presence but has not yet detailed specific aircraft, though the 777X has featured prominently at prior events. COMAC holds confirmed exhibitor status, consistent with its participation in 2024.
