hanger

A building that has the space required to house a completely assembled aircraft. It must have a door or a series of doors that when opened allow an aircraft to be put inside without having to remove the wings, rotors, or any other major component. The aircraft can be protected in this building from the weather. When the aircraft leaves the hanger it can be ready for flight.


Hangers house aircraft at the local airport. Boeing has among the biggest hangers in the world.
