Boeing 767

The Boeing 767 is a wide-body jet airliner built by the American manufacturer Boeing, introduced into service in 1982 as the company's first wide-body twin-engine jet, developed alongside the narrow-body 757 and sharing a similar cockpit design to reduce pilot training costs between the two types. Built for medium- to long-range routes and among the first wide-body aircraft cleared for extended overwater twin-engine operations, the 767 became a mainstay of transatlantic and other long-haul routes for decades and was later adapted into a cargo freighter and an aerial refueling tanker for the United States Air Force. Its airframe also served as the basis for Boeing's 777 development program before that larger aircraft's own first flight.
