26 Aquilae (abbreviated 26 Aql) is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 26 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation though it also bears the Bayer designation f Aquilae. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.00,[2] which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye. As the Earth orbits the Sun, this star system undergoes a parallax shift of 21.15 mas.[1] This means it is located at a distance of approximately Script error: No such module "convert". from Earth, give or take a three-light-year margin of error.

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system, meaning that the presence of an orbiting companion is revealed through shifts in the spectrum of the primary star. The pair orbit each other with a period of 266.544 days at a high eccentricity of 0.833.[4] Little is known about this companion, although its mass can be estimated as 140% of the Sun's.

The primary component has a stellar classification of G8 III-IV.[3] The luminosity class of III-IV indicates the spectrum resembles that of a star part way between the subgiant and giant stages of its evolution. It has more than three[5] times the mass of the Sun and six[4] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 21[4] times as much luminosity as the Sun from this enlarged outer envelope at an effective temperature of Script error: No such module "val"..[5] At this heat, the star glows with the characteristic yellow hue of a G-type star.[7]
