The 767 Freighter is a derivative of the popular 767-300ER (extended range) passenger twinjet.
All the advancements in avionics, aerodynamics, materials and propulsion that were developed for passenger versions of the 767 are incorporated in the freighter. Its design provides excellent fuel efficiency, operational flexibility, low noise levels and an all-digital flight deck. The structure employs aluminum alloys and composite materials.
The 767 Freighter is similar in external appearance to 767 passenger airplanes, except for the lack of passenger windows and doors. The interior of the main-deck fuselage has a smooth fiberglass lining. A fixed, rigid barrier installed in the front end of the main deck serves as a restraint wall between the cargo and the flight deck. A door in the barrier wall permits in-flight access from the flight deck to the cargo area.
Boeing has been the world leader in civilian air cargo since the 707 Freighter was introduced more than 30 years ago. As of March 2007, seven customers have ordered 83 767-300 Freighters.
