Exploring Various Types of Airport Hangars

Airport hangars are located on or near airport runways and taxiway areas, providing easy access to flight lines. And available in a variety of sizes and designs to accommodate many types and sizes of aircraft, large buildings are used to store and maintain aircraft and other related equipment. They are usually made of metal and often have gates that open to allow aircraft in and out. Hangars typically include storage, office and maintenance areas, as well as other facilities such as fire suppression systems and ventilators to keep the hangar cool.

1. Single-Aircraft Efficiency: T-Shaped Hangars T-shaped hangars are named for their T-shaped layout. Each hangar can accommodate one aircraft. They offer convenient slide-in and slide-out functionality for quick departures and arrivals.

2. Multi-Aircraft Spaciousness: Box-Shaped Hangars Box-shaped hangar is larger and more spacious than T-shaped hangar. These structures are designed to store multiple aircraft at the same time, in addition to accommodating larger aircraft like jets. They often include additional features such as storage, workshops and office space

3. Specialized Aircraft Care Facilities: Maintenance Hangars Traditional aircraft hangar is used to store aircraft safely and securely. The aircraft maintenance hangar is exclusively for MRO (maintenance, repair, operation) facilities and is designed and built for the sole purpose of performing large-scale aircraft maintenance rather than routine aviation maintenance and general services. It is important to note that not every region, country or even international airport has an aircraft maintenance hangar. These are expensive facilities that perform heavy basic maintenance. This means they must accommodate the aircraft itself, scaffolding, maintenance stations, tools and various ground support equipment such as electric tugs or aircraft stabilizer mounts.

4.Exclusive Aircraft Accommodations: Corporate Hangars A corporate hangar is a large place to store aircraft. Generally speaking, it has spacious space and can store multiple aircraft. It is usually owned, managed or operated by the company or its aviation division. These aircraft are generally only available to the company's owners or lessees. No other aircraft can be stored here, nor can they be used to generate revenue, unless they are part of the company's main business. Enterprise hangars can be jointly leased and operated by up to two separate entities. 

5. Professional Defense Operation Facilities: Military Hangars a large professional hangar used for the maintenance and storage of military aircraft. They may include features such as blast walls, fuel storage and weapons storage.

6. Protective Homes for Rotary-Wing Aircraft: Helicopter HangarsA helicopter hangar is a large enclosed structure used to house, maintain and protect helicopters. They may have features such as helipads, maintenance facilities and ground support equipment storage.

7.Flexible Solutions for Various Needs: Portable Hangars Portable hangar buildings are temporary or semi-permanent structures designed to provide shelter and storage for aircraft, vehicles, equipment or other items. These structures are often modular and can be easily assembled, disassembled and repositioned as needed. They provide flexibility and convenience for a variety of applications such as aviation, military operations, industrial storage, events, and more.
