The '''Boeing 767''' is a wide-body airliner, Boeing's first wide-body twinjet. Launched as the 7X7 program on July 14, 1978, it first flew on September 26, 1981, was certified on July 30, 1982, and entered service with United Airlines on September 8, 1982.<ref name="wp"/> In the U.S. there are 571 with a valid registration; the 767-300F freighter is the most common.<ref name="faa"/>

== Versions ==
* '''767-200''' (1982) and the extended-range '''767-200ER''' (1984).<ref name="wp"/>
* '''767-300''' (October 1986) and '''767-300ER''' (1988), the most popular version.<ref name="wp"/>
* '''767-300F''' freighter (October 1995).<ref name="wp"/>
* '''767-400ER''' (September 2000), stretched again.<ref name="wp"/>

== Design ==
Designed to complement the bigger [[Boeing 747|747]], it seats seven abreast and carries the smaller LD2 cargo containers. Its two-pilot glass cockpit, a first for a Boeing airliner, was developed together with the [[Boeing 757|757]], so pilots can share one type rating. Studies for a bigger 767 in 1986 led to the [[Boeing 777|777]].<ref name="wp"/>

== Registered in the United States ==
The FAA register lists '''571''' of these airplanes with a valid U.S. registration. Here they are by the model name the FAA uses.<ref name="faa"/>
