Emirates Crafts Iconic Arsenal Crest from Upcycled Aviation Parts
Emirates and Arsenal have marked two decades of partnership by creating a unique sculpture using upcycled aviation components. The Aircrafted Arsenal Crest is a 2.4-metre-high installation made from Emirates' Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 parts, including aircraft floor panels, titanium bleed air ducts, and main landing gear wheel hubs.
The project was designed and produced in-house by Emirates Engineering's Aircraft Material Upcycling Team over 34 days. The team of 15 engineers, designers, mechanics, technicians, and painters transformed the components into one of football's most recognizable emblems: Arsenal's iconic cannon.
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, said that the installation celebrates a partnership that has evolved far beyond traditional sports sponsorship. 'We have watched the club evolve, welcomed new generations of supporters, and celebrated many defining moments together.'
