Flying Aces is a steel wing roller coaster at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi on Yas Island in the United Arab Emirates. Intamin built it, and it opened on February 24, 2016.
The ride is themed to Count Francesco Baracca, the Italian flying ace whose prancing-horse emblem inspired the Ferrari logo, and its trains are styled as military biplanes. A cable lift carries riders 63 meters (207 feet) up at a 51-degree incline. The layout includes what the park calls the world's highest non-inverted loop, which RCDB lists at 171 feet, and a heartline roll, with speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph). RCDB gives a track length of 4,921 feet.
Each train seats 28 riders in seven rows of four, and riders in the outer seats have their feet hanging over open space. The park's rider height range is 130 to 196 cm.
