The Boeing 767 is made to fill the size niche between the smaller 757 and larger 777 model. It can accommodate up to eight seats across its wide interior.
The 767 Freighter differs from other 767 models in that it doesn't have the doors and windows of the passenger aircraft. Its fuselage is made of advanced lightweight materials which deliver greater fuel economy while providing structural strength. Its interior is modified with a fiberglass liner to accommodate cargo, with a bulkhead between the cargo compartment and the cockpit that controls unintended cargo shifting. The aircraft shares the same low noise levels of the passenger models.
Boeing tells us that the 767 is so reliable that it is able to spend a maximum of time airborne, keeping non-flying losses low. There are more 767 aircraft flying between the United States and Europe than any other airliner.
The engines of the Boeing 767 are said to be more efficient than those of other airliners in the same class. We are told that they burn about five percent less fuel and have the least amount of harmful substances released into the air.
In additional to eight air tankers, there are a total of 973 Boeing 767 aircraft of all types deployed by some 92 airlines throughout the world.

Boeing KC-767
Italian F-15 refueled by Boeing KC-767.
Italy and Japan have ordered four Boeing KC-767 Tanker Transports each. The Italian aircraft are equipped with both boom and hose-drogue refueling systems. To date Boeing has been unable to deliver
aircraft to Italy due to an inability to make their refueling system function properly.
Boeing paid a fine to Japan due to development problems delaying aircraft deliveries by about 24 months. To date, three Japanese aircraft with a boom only system are now operational.
The KC-767 Tanker Transport being offered to the USAF shares the same fuselage with the 200ER model being used by Italy and Japan. However it has the wings of the model 300 plus a newer fuel delivery system. The cockpit controls and engines differ as well.
According to Boeing, the KC-767 for the USAF is the best choice for operating in a “austere, expeditionary environment.” It can carry one fifth additional fuel, and thirty three percent more cargo than the KC-135 aircraft now being used by the USAF.

Pictured immediately above and below is the rc Boeing 767 scale model scratch built by Jason Noll. It has a wingspan of 115" and a length of 111". It has a pair of Neu 1527 motors turning 120 mm fan units for power and weighs about 35 lbs.
The next picture down is of the giant scale rc Boeing 767 with Ross Purdy its builder, and its pilot, Martin Young.
The last picture on this page is of the rc Boeing 767 built by Thomas Maier. It has a wingspan of 93 1/2", is made from balsa and plywood, and is powered by a pair of Hacker motors turning Aeronaut EDF units.
