Fabric Covered Airplane Hangars

A hangar is a building or structure designed to hold aircraft or spacecraft. Hangars are built of metal, wood, or concrete. The word hangar comes from Middle French hanghart, of Germanic origin, from Frankish *haimgard, from *haim and gard. The term, gard, comes from the Old Norse garðr. Aircraft hangars are usually built out of metal, concrete or wood. Aircraft are positioned within the hangars to store, allow operators to inspect and work on the airplane.
