Boeing Farnborough 2026 Will Spotlight the 777X and MQ-28 Ghost Bat

Boeing Farnborough 2026 will focus on the company's latest commercial aircraft, defense platforms and aviation services as the manufacturer prepares to exhibit at the Farnborough International Airshow. The company confirmed it will display the 777X passenger experience, debut the MQ-28 Ghost Bat collaborative combat aircraft on static display, and present a range of digital services, sustainability initiatives and defense capabilities during the five-day event in the United Kingdom.

The exhibition reflects Boeing's strategy of highlighting its commercial aviation portfolio alongside defense and services businesses while reinforcing long-term customer relationships and international partnerships. According to the company, the program will emphasize engineering, product development, investments in new technologies and collaboration across the global aerospace industry.

Boeing President and Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg said the company remains focused on rebuilding customer confidence through improvements in safety, quality and operational performance while using the airshow to strengthen relationships with customers, suppliers and international partners.

777X and MQ-28 Headline Boeing Exhibit

The Boeing exhibit, located at stand C-620, will feature a full-size interior section of the Boeing 777X, allowing visitors to experience the aircraft's wider cabin and redesigned interior architecture. The display is intended to showcase the passenger experience and cabin innovations incorporated into Boeing's next-generation widebody aircraft.

One of the most significant attractions will be the Farnborough debut of the MQ-28 Ghost Bat collaborative combat aircraft. Appearing on static display for the first time at the event, the uncrewed aircraft has been designed to operate alongside crewed military aircraft, performing missions including surveillance, electronic warfare and force multiplication.

Boeing will also display the U.S. Army CH-47F Chinook alongside a United Kingdom Joint Aviation Command CH-47 Chinook, highlighting the company's long-standing military aviation capabilities.

Interactive Technology and Aviation Services

Visitors attending the exhibition will have access to several interactive technology demonstrations. Boeing will operate a T-7 flight deck simulator, giving attendees the opportunity to experience the aircraft's cockpit and training capabilities. An additional T-7 simulator will also be available for media demonstrations at the BAE Pavilion in Hall 5.

The manufacturer will use Farnborough to highlight its expanding services portfolio for both commercial airlines and government customers. Featured capabilities include aircraft parts support, cabin modifications, digital aviation solutions, training programs and maintenance services.

Boeing will also present its Cascade Climate Impact Model, a data visualization and modelling platform developed to evaluate pathways for improving aviation sustainability while supporting future industry growth. The tool is designed to help assess multiple strategies aimed at reducing aviation's environmental impact through technology and operational improvements.
