Aircraft hangar

Inflatable hangars are designed with durability in mind, making them ideal for storing, repairing and maintaining aircraft. Our hangars are designed with a large span and do not require a foundation, being suitable for all types of aircraft. From jet aircraft to helicopters – a modern modular design makes it possible to protect and maintain aircraft in the most challenging conditions.

Design solution

Pneumatic hangar is an inflatable structure made of reinforced PVC materials, consisting of forming pneumatic cylinders, end walls with doorways of pneumatic gates, connected in a single structure and covered with a prefabricated shell.

Each pneumatic cylinder is a half-torus design, which is automatically filled with air using an intelligent booster system. The end walls are equipped with door blocks, pneumatic gates, openings for supply and exhaust ventilation and heat-insulated channels for the chimney.

For staff and visitors, aluminum doors with closers on a metal frame are provided. Cargo gates open with an electric hoist, providing pass-through for machinery and equipment.

The pre-fabricated protective shell covers the pneumatic cylinders, providing increased wind and snow resistance, and also improves the heat-saving specifications of the structure.

Specifications

Saving energy and maintenance costs

Translucent reinforced PVC materials ensure high light transmission of the structure and make it possible to do without artificial lighting in the daytime. Because the membrane transmits up to 90% of sunlight, the working space inside the hangar has a sufficient level of illumination without the use of additional light sources. The white color of the membrane helps reflect heat and ultraviolet radiation. The thermal insulation properties of the multi-layer enclosure structure in combination with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems provide comfortable working conditions.

Lower maintenance cost

For irregularly used aircraft stored in the open air, the cost of maintenance and the rate of depreciation increase, subsequently leading to a decrease in the market value of aircraft in case of its secondary sale. We offer aircraft hangars in several standard sizes with heating ventilation and air conditioning systems, which will allow keeping the equipment in excellent condition for a long time and carry out high-quality maintenance. Our inflatable hangars can be delivered by rail, road, sea and air to anywhere in the world with minimal cost.

Extending the life of machinery and equipment

There are always problems in the aviation industry with corrosion damage occurring on the casing of machines based on airfields located near industrial or coastal areas. Among the factors that sharply accelerate the corrosion process is increased humidity and atmospheric pollution with industrial gases, coal dust, and salt particles. Our hangars provide almost airtight storage of aircraft. The use of an additional dehumidifier and ventilation system ensures clean storage with low humidity in any climate zone.

How we work

Our experts have been continuously working to improve our solutions. Employees of the company are always ready to provide you with information support and to assist in the installation, repair and operation of pneumatic hangars.

1. Design

Each hangar is designed in close cooperation with the customer and our experts: designers, engineers and analysts, who already have over a hundred projects in their portfolio.

2. Production

Hangars are manufactured on a production site of more than 5,000 square meters, equipped with state-of-the-art high-speed welding plants, digital milling cutters and plotters.

3. Packing and delivery

Packaging options depend on the means of delivery requested by the customer. For sea, rail and freight, we use 20- and 40-foot containers.

4. Training

The company’s experts visit the installation site to assist in the deployment of the hangar, share theoretical knowledge and conduct practical exercises.

5. Installation

Installation of an inflatable hangar does not require foundation or earthwork. It is enough to have a more or less flat terrain. A team of 12 workers can deploy a hangar in 2 or 3 days.

6. After-sales service

You will be able to start using the hangar the very second after the installation. The hangar withstands strong gusts of wind, heat, cold and heavy snowfall.
