Farnborough International Airshow has confirmed that the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) and the United States Air Force (USAF) will bring an impressive line-up of aircraft to the 2026 event, further strengthening the show’s position as a global showcase for aerospace and defence capability.
The Italian Air Force – Reparto Sperimentale di Volo Eurofighter display team will present a Eurofighter Typhoon multirole fighter, designated locally as the F-2000A, across all 5 days of the airshow.
