Typical Hangar Styles
Simple Hangar. Span up to 60m
Simple Steel Portal Framed Buildings are ideal for small hangars up to 65m span. Tied Portals may be stretched to 85m. Multispan and propped portals can go to any span.
Segmental Tied Hangar. Span up to 200m or more
Bigger Aircraft Hangars can be made of Reidsteel Segmental Tied trusses able to span up to 200m or more.
Glove Hangar
Economy can be obtained with "Glove" Hangars where the span and the doors are made to fit a specific aircraft and the nose/fuselage front half of the hangar is reduced in size. It's a little cheaper to heat or cool. But remember: no-one has ever said "I made this hangar too big!".
Spine Truss Hangar
In the case of very short, wide hangars a spine truss may be cost effective.
Cantilever Hangar
Cantilever hangars are ideal for future extension. They can be as long as you need - a kilometre or so! But you need a substantial office/workshop zone behind as counterweight.
Butterfly Hangar
Butterfly hangars need apron both sides. They can be made as type 4 or type 5. With type 5 you have a very efficient design.
