An approach for image transmission based on the Airy array beam is proposed and demonstrated. The Airy array beam is generated by employing the product of a special cubic phase and a shift function at its Fourier plane. The image can be modulated into this Airy array beam by overlapping it at the Fourier plane of this beam. After passing through a certain distance, the image information can be recovered from the modulated Airy array beam by Fourier transform. Compared to the existing Airy array beam, higher integrity and image information quality can be achieved by increasing the width of the obstacle that blocks the propagation of these beams. The capability mentioned above is experimentally verified. Moreover, to research the diffraction of this Airy array beam in the scattering environment, the propagation process of this Airy array beam in a scattering medium is theoretically derived and numerically studied. The corresponding experiment demonstrates that the propagation process matches well with the numerical study and simulation.
