Aviation

When choosing an aviation hangar, it is crucial to consider the type of aircraft to be stored, the climate, the location, and the size of the facility.

What are

Aviation

Aviation and aerospace hangers are critical facilities for the aviation and aerospace industries. They provide safe storage and maintenance for aircraft, engines, and other aviation equipment. A well-designed aviation hangar can prolong the life of your investment, increase operational efficiency and enhance safety.

HOW THEY ARE USED AND WHO THEY ARE FOR:

When choosing an aviation hangar, it is crucial to consider the type of aircraft to be stored, the climate, the location, and the size of the facility. There are various aviation hanger types available on the market, each with its advantages. Aviation hangers have an advantage over other types of buildings in the column-free interior space. This allows for maximum use of the floor space and flexibility in how it can be used. Aviation hangers also have large doors that can accommodate the most significant aircraft.

OTHER INFORMATION TO KNOW:

Average Size

The clear span of the typical commercial hangars is between 60 and 300 meters, with 100 to 200 meters being the most common. The width is usually between 30 and 50 meters. The height of commercial aviation hangars must be high enough to allow for the aerodynamic undercarriage clearances of the largest aircraft that might use it. This typically requires a minimum hangar height clearance of 15 meters.

Things To Consider

The first reason is cost. A pre-fabricated hangar can be 20-30% cheaper to build than a traditional site-built one. The main reason for this cost savings is that the prefab hangar is built in a factory setting, which allows for greater efficiency and less waste. The second reason is time. A pre-fabricated hangar can be built in half the time it takes to build a traditional site-built one. This is because the prefab hangar isbuilt in a factory setting, which allows for greater efficiency and less waste. The third reason is quality. A pre-fabricated hangar is built in a controlled factory setting, which allows for greater quality control.

Type Of Materials

The most common type of aviation hangar is the metal frame hangar. Metal frame hangars are made from steel or aluminum tubing with a metal skin. These hangars are solid and durable, making them ideal for storing larger aircraft. Another type of aviation hangar is the fabric hangar. Fabric hangars are made from various materials, including PVC, polyester, and Kevlar. They are typically lighter than metal frame hangars and can be quickly erected or dismantled but not as resilient as metal hangars.
