Engineers from Emirates have transformed aircraft components from retired Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 planes into a towering Arsenal crest, which now stands at 2.4 metres tall at Emirates Stadium. This unique sculpture marks the 20th anniversary of the Emirates-Arsenal partnership, which was extended through 2033. The Aircrafted Arsenal Crest was designed and built in Dubai by Emirates Engineering's Aircraft Material Upcycling team, using a team of 15 specialists over 34 days.
The A380 wheel hub became the wheel of the cannon, while a titanium air duct created the barrel. Composite aircraft floor panels formed the cannon's body, and aluminium fuselage skin from Boeing 777 aircraft became the shield. The Arsenal lettering was individually shaped from aircraft windows and fitted with warm-white lighting.
The finished crest was painted in Arsenal's official colours before being flown to London on an Emirates SkyCargo freighter.
