context_page_description: The Boeing 767 is a wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
  The airliner was launched as the 7X7 project on July 14, 1978, the prototype first flew on September 26, 1981, and it was certified on July 30, 1982.
  The original 767-200 entered service on September 8 with United Airlines, and the extended-range 767-200ER in 1984.
  It was stretched into the 767-300 in October 1986, followed by the 767-300ER in 1988, the most popular variant.
  The 767-300F, a production freighter version, debuted in October 1995.
  It was stretched again into the 767-400ER from September 2000.
  To complement the larger 747, it has a seven-abreast cross-section, accommodating smaller LD2 ULD cargo containers.
  The 767 is Boeing's first wide-body twinjet, powered by General Electric CF6, Rolls-Royce RB211, or Pratt & Whitney JT9D turbofans. JT9D engines were eventually replaced by PW4000 engines.
  The aircraft has a conventional tail and a supercritical wing for reduced aerodynamic drag.
  Its two-crew glass cockpit, a first for a Boeing airliner, was developed jointly for the 757 − a narrow-body aircraft, allowing a common pilot type rating.
context_section_description: The 767-200 was the original model and entered service with United Airlines in 1982. The type has been used primarily by mainline U.S. carriers for domestic routes between major hub centers such as Los Angeles to Washington. The 767-200 was the first aircraft to be used on transatlantic ETOPS flights, beginning with TWA on February 1, 1985 under 90-minute diversion rules. Deliveries for the variant totaled 128 aircraft. There were 52 examples of the model in commercial service as of July 2018, almost entirely as freighter conversions. The type's competitors included the Airbus A300 and A310.
  The 767-200 was produced until 1987 when production switched to the extended-range 767-200ER. Some early 767-200s were subsequently upgraded to extended-range specification. In 1998, Boeing began offering 767-200 conversions to 767-200SF (Special Freighter) specification for cargo use, and Israel Aerospace Industries has been licensed to perform cargo conversions since 2005. The conversion process entails the installation of a side cargo door, strengthened main deck floor, and added freight monitoring and safety equipment. The 767-200SF was positioned as a replacement for Douglas DC-8 freighters.
