UAE's Al Fursan Flying Display Team Paints the Sky at Farnborough Airshow 2026

Fursan al-Emarat (the Knights of the Emirates)—the UAE’s national aerobatic team—made its Farnborough Airshow debut this year. The group flies Chinese Hongdu L-15 Falcon advanced trainers powered by AI-222 engines. Its debut marks the first time a display team has performed at Farnborough in 12 years, where the team performed a custom sequence to fit the confined airspace at the Hampshire, UK show. Typically flying with seven aircraft, the team appeared with five on this occasion.
