BOEING 767-300F WIDE-BODIED FREIGHTER, USA
The 767-300F freighter is a derivative of the successful 767-300ER extended
range passenger twinjet airliner. Boeing launched the 767 freighter in January 1993.
The aircraft was rolled out in May 1995 and the first 767 freighter entered service
with Atlanta based United Parcel Service in October 1995.
42 aircraft have been ordered and the freighter is in service with all All Nippon
Airways (ANA), Asiana Airlines, GECAS, LAN Chile and United Parcels Service
(UPS).
The 767 freighter cost is minimised through the use of a two-person flight deck
and two fuel efficient high-by-pass ratio engines, a configuration which contrasts
with older cargo aircraft with three person flight crews and four engines.
The aircraft shares common pilot type ratings with Boeing 767 and Boeing 757
aircraft allowing a pilot trained on one model to qualify for flight on another model
with minimal additional instruction.
DESIGN
The airliner is of wide-bodied, low swept back wing design with twin podd

ed
underwing turbofan engines and is constructed of aluminium alloys and composite
materials. The freighter aircraft is equipped with a reinforced version of the tricycle
type hydraulically retractable landing gear fitted on the 767-300 airliner. The
freighter has a similar external appearance to the 767 passenger airliners except that it
has no passenger windows and doors.
Canadair manufactures the rear fuselage. Fuji is responsible for the construc-
tion of the wing and body fairings and the main landing gear doors. Kawasaki manu-
factures the forward and central sections of the fuselage, the exit hatches and wing
ribs. Mitsubishi is subcontracted to manufacture the rear section body panels and the
rear doors. Northrop Grumman manufactures the wing centre sections, the lower cen-
tre fuselage and the fuselage bulkheads. Vought Aircraft is responsible for the manu-
facture of the horizontal tail section. The large manufactured sections of aircraft are
transported to the Boeing production facilities at Everett in Washington for final as-
sembly and systems integration.

lining has been fitted on the interior of the main deck fu-
selage. A fixed rigid barrier is installed at the front of the main deck, serving as a re-
straint wall between the cargo area and the flight deck. A door in the barrier wall pro-
vides in-flight access from the flight deck to the cargo area.
FLIGHT DECK
The all-digital flight deck accommodates the pilot and co-pilot and is also fitted
with one, or optionally two, observer seats.
