Vertical Aerospace plans to fly its electric take-off and landing aircraft at the Farnborough International Airshow 2026. The airshow itself will feature displays from major jet makers including Bombardier. Its Global 8000 jet set a fresh speed mark during its Los Angeles to London flight just before the trade show. Organizers confirmed the airshow will proceed despite several absences . The planned opening ceremony was canceled after a diplomatic clash involving a local official. Conflicts and new aircraft orders will take center stage talks during the upcoming trade days.
