Aviation Infrastructure

Aircraft Hangars

Professional clear-span hangars for aircraft protection and maintenance. Engineered for airport environments and rapid deployment.

The Application

Engineered for Flight

Aviation facilities require massive clear spans and high eave clearances to accommodate wingspans and tail heights. Traditional hangars are expensive to permit and build, especially in leased airport spaces.

Champion aircraft hangars offer a cost-effective, relocatable solution. Our truss designs provide up to 80 m of clear-span width, allowing for multiple aircraft or large-body jets. The translucent fabric provides superior visibility for maintenance inspections without the glare of metal buildings.

✈

Massive Clear Span

Wide, column-free interiors for easy aircraft maneuvering and wing clearance.

🚚

Large Door Systems

Support for hydraulic, bi-fold, or sliding hangar door systems of any size.

Hangar Advantages

Protection Above All

🌪

Wind Rated

Engineered for exposed airfield environments with wind ratings up to 180 km/h.

🔆

Natural Light

Translucent roofs eliminate dark corners, providing a safer environment for mechanics.

🚕

Relocatable

Perfect for leased airport land—dismantle and move the hangar if your base of operations changes.

Hangar Specs

Typical Aviation Hangar Specs

Clear Span Width	15 m to 80 m
Eave Height	Custom, up to 12 m+
Membrane	Flame-retardant PVC (NFPA 701 compliant)
Steel Frame	Hot-dip galvanized to ISO 1461

FAQ

Aviation FAQ

Yes. We can engineer the gable ends to support almost any type of hangar door, including hydraulic swing, bi-fold, or horizontal sliding doors.

Our PVC membranes are treated with flame retardants and meet international standards such as NFPA 701 and DIN 4102 B1.

Depending on size, a Champion hangar can be fully operational in 4 to 8 weeks after the foundation is ready.

Industry Advantage

Why a Fabric Building for Aviation Hangars

✈

Rapid Airfield Deployment

Establish a fully operational aircraft hangar or MRO hangar in weeks. Our modular design avoids the lengthy permitting and construction cycles of traditional steel hangars.

💡

Superior Maintenance Environment

The translucent membrane of a fabric hangar provides shadow-free natural light, critical for detailed inspections and private aircraft storage maintenance tasks.

🚕

Operational Portability

Perfect for leased airport land. Our portable hangars can be dismantled and relocated if your base of operations moves, protecting your capital investment.

Durability

Engineered for the Environment

Aviation facilities are often located in exposed airfield sites. Our clear span hangars are designed to meet the most stringent site-specific codes.

🌪

Extreme Wind Rating

Calculated to ASCE 7 or Eurocode standards for wind speeds up to 180 km/h.

❄

Snow Management

Steep truss pitch and smooth membrane facilitate natural snow shedding in cold climates.

🛡

Corrosion Resistance

Hot-dip galvanization to ISO 1461 ensures longevity in coastal or jet-exhaust environments.

Process

Our 4-Step Project Delivery

From initial site-specific engineering to final installation at your airport or facility.

Site Analysis

We analyze your local wind, snow, and seismic codes to ensure the aircraft hangar is safe and compliant with airfield regulations.

Custom Engineering

Our engineers design the clear span hangar frame and membrane system to meet your exact wingspan and tail height needs.

Precision Mfg.

Frames are hot-dip galvanized and PVC membranes are high-frequency welded in our ISO-certified manufacturing facility.

Rapid Assembly

Components are shipped in containers and assembled on-site by expert supervisors, getting your fabric hangar operational fast.
