Boeing 767 operators The following is a list of operators of the Boeing 767:
AlliedSignal has continuously incorporated improvements into its 767 brake. The first 767 brakes were made of steel, with the original carbon brakes introduced in 1987. The new 767 brake incorporates AlliedSignal's leading-edge CARBENIX 4100 heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. material, which derives from the same family of material that has been operating trouble-free on the Boeing 777 since 1996. "We're pleased to bring our advanced carbon sink heat material technology to the 767," said Carl Montalbine, vice president and general manager of AlliedSignal Aircraft Landing Systems. "We are confident that our customers will be rewarded with a superior-performing product." Boeing test pilots measured the brake's performance over an 11-day period at Roswell, N.M. and Edwards Air Force Base Edwards Air Force Base, U.S. military installation, 301,000 acres (121,805 hectares), S Calif., NE of Lancaster; est. 1933. It is one of the largest air force bases in the United States and has the world's longest runway. in California. The brake met all performance expectations, including the maximum brake energy rejected take-off test, which measures the stopping distance of the airplane at maximum weight immediately prior to take off.
