Based on the cross-spectral density function of Gaussian Shell-Model and Huygens integral, the expression of partially coherent Airy beam was derived. The non-diffraction and acceleration characteristics of partially coherent Airy beam were theoretically studied and experimentally observed. The experimental observation was consistent with the theoretical prediction. Furthermore, the non-diffraction distance and the transversal acceleration decrease with decreasing coherent length.
