roar of aircraft the US company Boeing sign skies over all continents, seas and oceans.Unfortunately, the sound is not always peaceful, one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world for a long time specialized in the production of strategic bombers, but this story is not about them, but the passenger liner "Boeing 767".
aircraft began to be exploited in this series on domestic and international routes from the beginning of the eighties of the twentieth century.Total 767's were produced over a thousand, for the aviation industry in any country it is quite a serious figure.The secret to this success?
Boeing 767 - the first mass-produced twin-engine aircraft capable of nonstop to overcome the distance of five thousand miles and more.Before him, this problem has been feasible only for the four-engined cars.By itself, this fact is not saying much, because the passenger, in fact, do not care how many engines installed on the aircraft that carries it out in Paris, for example, in Kathmandu.But this is only at first glance.Two even more powerful engine weighs less than four, and thus the entire plane becomes easier.You can take more passengers to fill a larger volume of kerosene in the tanks.Fuel consumption is reduced, the flight cheaper.Such is the dependence.
aircraft has a fuselage, increasing its capacity and improving conditions in flight.
767-series lies between 757 th and 737 th series aircraft firm Boeing, ie has dimensions that are required for airlines moderate congestion.
After Boeing 767 wide-body diagram of a low-wing monoplane with two pods and began to use them for other manufacturers, Airbus, Tupolev, Sukhoi.Their planes are not worse, and may even surpass Boeing in their characteristics, as progress continues, but that 767-series issue after so many years in service and continues to compete with younger producers, says a lot.
Speaking of characteristics.Boeing 767 flying at a speed of 850 km / h over a distance of up to 12 thousand kilometers with 270 passengers two classes and their luggage on board.The machine is very reliable, for the operation lost only fifteen aircraft with a minimum of casualties, and the vast majority of these incidents are not to blame technology, and incorrect actions zkipazha or malice.Thus, during the September 11 attacks were used by hackers ships of this type.
The case when 767 minutes with broken engines flying over hundreds of kilometers, and successfully landed, received minor injuries after the removal of which returned to service.
Russian airlines are widely used Boeing 767.Aeroflot operates eleven cars, "Transaero" - five, they have fleet "Krasnoyarsk airlines", "Russian" and other domestic air carriers.However, none of this type of aircraft in our country did not crash.
Russian passengers appreciated the convenience of the flight on a Boeing 767.Driving salon has become a classic, three seats in the middle row and two on each side, so out of every four to seven seats have direct access to the aisle.
This plane is, even Roman Abramovich, at the request of the owner, he painted in white and steel-gray color.
