The
Boeing 767 is a mid- to large-size,
long-range,
wide-body twin-engine jet airliner built by
Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It was Boeing's first wide-body
twinjet and its first airliner with a two-crew
glass cockpit. The aircraft has two
turbofan engines, a conventional
tail, and, for reduced
aerodynamic drag, a
supercritical wing design. Designed as a smaller wide-body airliner than earlier aircraft such as the
747, the 767 has seating capacity for 181 to 375 persons and a
design range of , depending on variant. Development of the 767 occurred in tandem with a
narrow-body twinjet, the
757, resulting in shared design features which allow pilots to obtain a common
type rating to operate both aircraft.
