Built of
composite
The airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. Carbon-fibre fuselage and wings, the first airliner built mostly of composite. This is how the Boeing 787 Dreamliner family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N61115, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to United Airlines INC, a corporation, certificate issued October 1, 2026, expires October 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 68672 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N61115 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna T-50 (serial 6695, cancelled August 30, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 1, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N61115. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
