Pictured immediately above and below is the rc 767 scratch built by Jason Noll. It has a wingspan of 115" and a length of 111". It has a pair of Neu 1527 motors turning 120 mm fan units for power and weighs about 35 lbs.
The second picture below is the rc Boeing 767 built by Demondriver of RC Groups. It is a foamy with a 70 1/2" winspan and 70" length. Power comes from 1600 kV motors turning 90mm fans. Weight is around 3 1/2 lbs.
The third picture below is of the rc 767 with Ross Purdy its builder, and its pilot, Martin Young.
The last picture on this page is of the rc 767 built by Thomas Maier. It has a wingspan of 93 1/2", is made from balsa and plywood, and is powered by a pair of Hacker motors turning Aeronaut EDF units.

The Boeing 767 is made to fill the size niche between their smaller and
larger models. It can accommodate up to eight seats across its wide interior.
The Boeing 767 Freighter differs from other 767 models in that it doesn't
have the doors and windows of the passenger aircraft. Its fuselage is
made of advanced lightweight materials which deliver greater fuel
economy while providing structural strength. Its interior is modified
with a fiberglass liner to accommodate cargo, with a bulkhead between
the cargo compartment and the cockpit that controls unintended cargo
shifting. The aircraft shares the same low noise levels of the passenger models.
Boeing tells us that their 767 is so reliable that it is able to spend a
maximum of time airborne, keeping non-flying losses low. There are more
Boeing 767 aircraft flying between the United States and Europe than any
other airliner.
The engines of the Boeing 767 are said to be more efficient than those of
other airliners in the same class. We are told that they burn about five
percent less fuel and have the least amount of harmful substances
released into the air.
In
additional to eight air tankers, there are a total of 973 Boeing 767
aircraft of all types deployed by some 92 airlines throughout the world.

Italy
and Japan have purchased four Boeing 767 Tanker Transports each. The
Italian aircraft are equipped with both boom and hose-drogue refueling
systems, the Japanese aircraft with the boom only.
The
Boeing 767 Tanker Transport being produced for the USAF shares the same
fuselage with the 767 200ER model being used by Italy and Japan.
However it has the wings of the Boeing 767 model 300 plus a newer fuel
delivery system. The cockpit controls and engines differ as well. In essence it will be a new aircraft.
According
to Boeing, their tanker for the USAF is the best choice for operating
in a place where only a smaller tanker aircraft can fit. It can carry one fifth additional fuel, and thirty three percent more cargo than the aircraft now being used by the USAF.
