The Boeing 767: Efficiency and Reliability with the Pratt & Whitney 4000 Engine

The Boeing 767, nicknamed the “workhorse” for its long service record, is a mid-sized, wide-body jet airliner that revolutionized long-haul travel in the late 1980s. Its success was significantly bolstered by the powerful and efficient Pratt & Whitney (PW) 4000 engine series and today it is still in operation and manufacture with freighter variants and […]
