Boeing 767( Boeing 767 )It's the United States The Boeing Company Medium and large, long range, wide body twin engine jet aircraft developed for use with Airbus A300 and A310 compete. It's the first Boeing aircraft with two crew members Glass Cockpit The aircraft. Boeing 757 The cockpit design of the 767 is the same as that of the 767. It is easy for the crew and maintenance personnel to master both aircraft at the same time. 767 and 757 are the first two person cockpit in Boeing's civil aircraft, and also the first electronic aircraft in Boeing's passenger aircraft Flight instrument The first model of 767 is - 200, and then the longer model - 300 is produced. There are also 400 models planned for abortion. In addition, there are - 200ER, - 300ER and - 400ER for long-distance use.
Boeing 767 yes The Boeing Company Production of double engines (engines), half wide body, medium and long distance transport aircraft. The cabin of the Boeing 767 adopts a dual channel layout, which is mainly oriented to the 200-300 seat market, and is used to connect with the Airbus A300 /A310 series competition, mainly for the 1980s Boeing 707 DC8 、DC10、 Boeing 727 Such as the market formed by the retirement of 200 seat medium and long range passenger aircraft. Boeing 767 series is between the size of single channel Boeing 757 And larger dual channel Boeing 777 between. [1]
In April 1980, the first Boeing 767 left the factory. On September 26, 1981, the first Boeing 767 flew for the first time. In July 1982, the model certificate was delivered in September of the same year, and it was used for commercial flight for the first time in December of the same year. In 1990-1992, the delivery quantity was 60, 62 and 63 respectively, reaching the peak. Boeing originally planned to stop production of the 767 series at the end of 2007, but it received 27 orders for 767 freighters in March 2007, so the stop production plan was delayed.
In 1985, China first introduced this model, and on May 6, 2014, Air China sold the last one Boeing 767-300ER Its sale announced the completion of the Boeing 767 fleet in Air China And formally withdrew from the historical stage. [2]
On December 5, 2018, the last 767 aircraft in the domestic fleet was retired. [3]

In 1970, Boeing 747 It became the first wide body jet to enter service. The 747 is the first aircraft wide enough to have a dual aisle cabin. Two years later, the manufacturer began a development study, code named 7X7, to replace the 707 and other early generation narrow body aircraft with new wide body aircraft. The aircraft will also provide dual channel seats, but the fuselage is smaller than the existing 747, McDonnell Douglas Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 The three-star wide body is smaller. In order to pay high development costs, Boeing Italy Company Aeritalia and Japan Transport Development Corporation (CTDC), a consortium of aerospace companies, signed a risk sharing agreement. This marks the manufacturer's first major International joint venture As a result, Aeritalia and CTDC received the supply contract in exchange for their early participation. The original 7X7 was considered as a short takeoff and landing aircraft for short distance flight, but customers were not interested in this concept, which led to its redefinition as a medium-sized, transcontinental aircraft. At this stage, the proposed aircraft has two or three engines, and possible configurations include an outboard engine and a T-tail.
By 1976, the layout of a twin jet aircraft was similar to that in Airbus A300 It made its first appearance on, becoming the baseline configuration. The decision to use two engines reflects the industry's increasing interest in the new generation Jet engine Reliable and economical confidence. Although the airline requirements for the new wide body aircraft are still unclear, the 7X7 generally focuses on the medium and high-density market. Therefore, it intends to transport a large number of passengers between major cities. Advances in civil aviation technology, including high bypass ratio turbogenerator , new cockpit system, aerodynamics Improved and lighter building materials were applied to the 7X7. Many of these functions are also included in a new medium-sized narrow body airliner, code named 7N7, which will become a parallel development work of the 757. The work of these two proposals was realized through the rise of the aviation industry in the late 1970s.
In January 1978, Boeing announced a large-scale expansion of the Everett plant, and then committed to producing 747 to adapt to its new wide body series. In February 1978, a new jet aircraft was named 767, and three variants were planned: a 767-100 with 190 seats, a 767-200 with 210 seats, and a Trijet 767MR/LR version intercontinental route with 200 seats. 767MR/LR was later renamed 777 for differentiation purposes. 767 was officially launched on July 14, 1978, when United Airlines Ordered 30 of the 767-200 models, and then American Airlines and Delta Air Lines Orders were placed for 50 other 767-200 models. The 767-100 was not sold because its capacity was too close to 757, and the demand for the 777 triple row jet was finally reduced due to the standardized dual jet configuration. [2]

Boeing put forward a plan in 1972 to cooperate with Italy and Japan to produce a three engine long range aircraft, initially named 7X7, but this plan was not realized. face oil crisis Impact, for the first twin engine wide body airliner—— Airbus A300 After scheme demonstration and market research, Boeing announced to launch the Boeing 767 development plan in February 1978. In July of the same year United Airlines 30 confirmed orders, United Airlines Representatives participated in the whole design process to better meet the requirements of users. At the beginning of 1979, after obtaining 80 orders and 79 intended orders, we began the comprehensive design and development work. The Boeing 767 development cost was 1.5 billion US dollars (1978). [1]
Boeing 767 International cooperation is adopted in the development and production plan, The Boeing Company It is mainly responsible for the final assembly of aircraft, Japan Civil Transport Aircraft Department (composed of Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and Fuji Heavy Industries) and Alenia, Italy Participated in the Boeing 767 Program and undertook 30% of all development costs and workload. In the production of Boeing 767, Boeing mainly undertakes the final assembly of aircraft. The division of labor in Japan is as follows: mitsubishi heavy industries Responsible for the production of rear fuselage panels, purlins, passenger and cargo doors and vertical tails; Kawasaki Heavy Industries Be responsible for the beam rib between the middle fuselage wall plate and the wing; Fuji Heavy Industries Be responsible for rectifying the wrapping and Main landing gear Hatch; Italy Alenia Production of composite wingtips, nose radomes and all moving control surfaces. Boeing subcontracts the middle section of the wing and its lower half fuselage and fuselage spacer to Grumman Flat tail subcontracting to Walter Company The tail of the fuselage is subcontracted to Canadian Aircraft Corporation The horizontal tail was subcontracted to Lin Tanke Watt Company [1]

Delta Boeing 767-300
The Boeing 767 has adopted a new structure, and it is the first wide body aircraft in Boeing's civil aviation aircraft to use the two person pilot system. During the design process of Boeing 767, try to keep the Boeing 757 There are more commonalities. The cockpit design of the two models is basically the same, and the driving qualifications of the two models are also the same. Efficient wing fit Culvert ratio Turbo fan engine The runway length used by Boeing 767 is relatively reduced. [4]
Boeing 767 cockpit
Boeing 767 fuselage is 5.03m wide, which is more than Single channel aircraft The width is more than 1.2 meters, which is suitable for the comfortable double aisle passenger compartment layout. The standard is that 7 seats in a row are arranged in 2-3-2 style, and can adapt to the existing standards at that time Container and Pallet Boeing 767 wing adopts Cantilever lower single wing , relative thickness of wing root 15.1%, wingtip 10.3%, 1/4 chord sweep angle 31 ° 30 ', aluminum alloy Damaged safety structure Aileron use Graphite epoxy resin composite Aluminum alloy single seam outside Trailing edge flap , double slit inner trailing edge flap, composite Spoiler It can be used for rolling control and also as a speed brake. The tail wing adopts cantilever damaged safety aluminum alloy and aluminum alloy honeycomb structure. Two sets of forward extension suspension under the wing High bypass ratio turbofan engine One in each wing and one in the center wing Integral oil tank Front three-point hydraulic landing gear. Double wheel Nose landing gear Retract forward. The main landing gear is a four-wheel trolley structure and retracts inward. Auxiliary power Device drive 1 set 90 KVA alternator It is used for ground and air emergency power supply. Three sets of hydraulic systems are supplied with pressure by the hydraulic pump driven by the engine air bleed. [4]
Airborne equipment adopts automatic flight state control system, engine data display and warning system, and all engine data are displayed digitally; Honeywell Inertial Coordinate System, Digital Atmospheric data computer number Flight management system , three redundant digital flight control computer, including FCS-700 flight control system, EFIS-700 electronic Flight instrument System and RMI-743 wireless electromagnetic display. Optional equipment includes Boeing's wind shear Detection and guidance system. Boeing 767 Double engine extended flight (ETOPS) performed well. In May 1985, FAA (FAA) approved that the distance between Boeing 767 and alternate airport in long-distance flight can be up to 120 minutes, that is, 120 minutes ETOPS. In March 1989, it was the first to be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration for 180 minute ETOPS. In this way, Boeing 767 can fly more trans Pacific and trans Atlantic routes from the United States. [4]
As the internal diameter of the Boeing 767 is only 4.7 meters, which is the narrowest in wide body airliners, its comfort is not as good as 5.64m of Airbus A300 The cargo compartment is also small, which can only accommodate the conventional aviation use of narrow body aircraft LD2 container It is not allowed to use the common LD3 container Finally, Boeing 767 Airbus A300 In the competition, it gave up the leading position in the market of intermediate twin engine airliner.

-300 type extended range type, American Airlines Ordering 15 aircrafts became the launch user of this model. The center wing fuel tank was added to the 200 model, which increased the maximum takeoff weight and increased the range. It was put into use in 1988. The first Boeing 767 flight crosses the Pacific route- The 300ER has become the model with the largest output of the 767 family.
Cargo model, 1993 United Parcel Service (UPS) ordered 30 sets to start the development and production of this model. The main cargo tank capacity of this model is 336.5 cubic meters, and the bottom cargo tank is 117.5 cubic meters. It can fly 6000 kilometers when it is fully loaded with 50 tons of cargo. It was first flown in June 1995 and delivered to United Parcel Service for operation in October of the same year.

Boeing 767-400

Boeing 767-400 Boeing 767-400ER Is a derivative of the Boeing 767 series Extended Range (Boeing has not launched the 767-400 model of the non extended range). On the basis of the model - 300, the fuselage is longer by 6.4 meters, and the aerodynamics has been improved. The wingspan and maximum takeoff weight have been increased, and a new main landing gear has been adopted. 767-400ER (Boeing has not launched the 767-400 model of non extended range type) is also the only one in the 767 series Winglet Model number of. The first one was delivered on August 26, 1999, flew for the first time in October 1999, and put into use in May 2000. This model has been discontinued.

From 1985 to 2000, Air China successively introduced 16 Boeing 767 With the increase of operating hours, the Boeing 767 aircraft has entered the heavy maintenance stage. From 1995 to 2000, the joint venture Ameco has carried out the highest level maintenance for the Boeing 767 aircraft - 2S4C inspection and modified the engine reverse thrust synchronous lock for the first time; Major structural repair; Hanger modification, etc., created many world civil aviation and China's civil aviation first at that time. [6]
On October 18, 1995, Ameco implemented the engine reverse synchronous lock modification for the Boeing 767 aircraft for the first time. The most involved in this modification was the modification of the aircraft circuit system. More than 500 lines were modified, and 1300 functions were debugged. At that time, Meng Xianggui, the captain of the squadron, served as the general coordinator of the construction. He said that the modification team worked 12 hours a day. In order to ensure the progress, he gave up rest at the weekend. During this period, the aircraft had been working in and out of the 747 hangar for five days in the open air. The narrow electronic cabin was used for line modification. In some places, it was very difficult to turn and squat, so they had to bend down. However, when they put themselves into work, they forgot all the hardships and tiredness. [6]
On October 31, 1995, after 630 power on tests and modifications, Mr. Hodgson, a Boeing representative present, said that I participated in this project for 23 times, and only Ameco succeeded in one power on test. You have created the world's first and China's first. [6]
