Aircraft owners already know about the different types of hangars that can be installed for your aircraft. Common types of aircraft hangars are listed below.

1- Free Standing Aircraft Hangar

• It is best-suited for single aircraft.
• It is also known as a free-standing aircraft hangar.
• Its design includes four walls, a roof, and a door system.
• Best suited for private hangars and aircraft maintenance hangars.

2- Consecutive Rectangular Hangars

• Its design is similar to a free-standing hangar.
• Designed for additional aircraft to be stored in a single row.
• Provided 100% privacy as every hangar includes its own door.

NOTE: These types of hangars are often sold or rented to individual pilots or aircraft owners.

3- Back To Back Hangars

• Completely similar to “Consecutive Rectangular Hangars” hangar floor plan.
• It has multiple rows of “Consecutive Rectangular Hangars” to provide additional storage of aircraft.
• Each hangar bay is separated for privacy and security and includes separate hangar doors.

4- T Hangars

• This type of hangar is also known as Tee-hangar, T hangar, or T-hangar.
• Primarily used for private aircraft.
• They are more economical than rectangular hangars.

There are two types of T-Hangars: Standard (stacked) T Hangars and Nested T Hangars.

4.1- Standard T Hangars

• This is also known as stacked T hangars.
• Designed to use the maximum amount of interior floor space.
• They tend to be longer in design than Nested T Hangars.

4.2- Nested T Hangars

• Nested Tee hangars require less building material than standard hangars
• These hangars are wider but shorter; hence reduce the length of taxiway required to abut the building.
• Due to the design, the only access to each hangar bay is through the main hangar door.

So, whatever design you need, based on the number of aircraft, you can order a prefabricated steel building to fulfill your parking needs.
