The 767-200 Special Freighter PW is a twin-engine, mid-size, cargo aircraft developed by American aerospace company Boeing and powered by Pratt & Whitney high-bypass turbofan engines. The model is a freighter conversion of their highly successful 767-200 wide-body passenger airframe.
The evolution of the 767-200 Special Freighter dates to Boeing’s 7X7 initiative of the late 1970s to replace narrow-body airliners with larger models. The prototype took its first flight on September 26, 1981 and the first production version, the 767-200, entered service on September 8, 1982. The 767 was highly successful for Boeing, and the company began planning a cargo variant of the 767-200 in the late 1990s. Designated the 767-200 Special Freighter, the model was announced to replace aging cargo carriers for major logistics firms.
The 767-200 Special Freighter PW measures 159 feet, 2 inches in length, is 16 feet, 6 inches wide, and stands 17 feet, 9 inches tall. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW4000 high-bypass turbofan engines that each generate up to 59,000 pounds of thrust. In converting the 767-200 models previously used for passenger service into the 767-200SF models, Boeing removed passenger windows (replacing them with aluminum), strengthened the floors, and added a large cargo door on the left side of the forward fuselage.
The 767-200 Special Freighter PW is crewed by two and can carry up to 99,000 pounds of payload in a variety of configurations using either pallets or Unit Load Devices (ULDs). It has a range of 4,500 miles, a service ceiling of 43,100 feet above sea level, and a maximum cruising speed of 560 miles per hour.
The 767-200 Special Freighter GE is a twin-engine, mid-size cargo aircraft developed by American aerospace company Boeing and powered by General Electric high-bypass turbofan engines. The model is a freighter conversion of their highly successful 767-200 wide-body passenger airframe.
