B737-200 HISTORY

The 767 is considered the best mid to large size twin-jet airliner because it provides extended range, large payloads, and fuel economy when compared similar jet airliners and traditional cargo airplanes like the 747 and the DC-8. The 767 was developed in tandem with the narrowbody 757 receiving certification in 1982. The 767 and the 757 share a common two crew EFIS flightdeck, many aircraft systems, and a common type rating that allows 757 pilots to fly the 767 and vice versa greatly reducing training costs.

The 767 usually seats seven abreast in economy and is usually configured to seat between 250 and 300 passengers. The advanced swept wing design of the 767 enhances high altitude cruise flight and fuel economy aloft. ETOPS certification is easily accomplished with the 767 allowing overseas flights that were previously not permitted on twin engine aircraft thanks to the relability of its powerplants.
