How to Identify a Boeing 767

Look for the 767 at major transportation hubs. The 767 is the aircraft used most often to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Look for a twin jet engine aircraft.

Check to see that the engines are mounted on pylons under the wings, with a major portion of the engine itself resting ahead of the leading edge of the wing.

Note that the engines are modern turbofans - the intake is much larger in diameter than the exhaust.

Check the fuselage. The 767 is a "wide body," with two interior aisles for passengers.

Note that the fuselage is the same diameter from right behind the cockpit all the way to the tail of the 767.

Look at the nose. It comes to a point along the centerline of the fuselage.

Look for a tall vertical stabilizer raked back at an approximately 45-degree angle.

Note that the 767 has a single passenger door in front of the wing, with an emergency exit mounted over the wing.

Remember, the 767-400 series is longer than the first three models of this aircraft.
