Hangar owners often rent out space in their hangar to decrease costs, or to provide a revenue stream. Using 3D computer software, we can investigate how different airplane combinations will fit into your hangar.
Additionally trailers, RVs, cars, or aircraft parts and storage are also kept in the hangar. These items can be modelled so that you can ensure there is enough room for everything to fit, and still get access to your airplane.
Putting an airplane into a hangar with other airplanes or vehicles already inside a hangar requires skill and a familiarity with the handling properties of your particular airplane.
Using properly scaled computer models of different airplanes, we can create an animation to show how your airplane will need to be handled to fit into the available space inside your hangar, based on the specifics of your airplane.
We can also adjust the positioning to maintain any desired buffer, or distance from anything in the hangar.
These animations make use of actual landing gear wheelbases and nosewheel maximum deflection angles to provide an accurate ground handling path that can marked on the hangar floor to ensure safe one person handling.
Computer modelling of your airplane creates a dimensionally accurate representation that can be used to investigate hangar layouts.
Clearances between multiple aircraft or stored vehicles can be examined including the hangar structural members or internal storage shelves, offices, washrooms or HVAC equipment.
The required path that the landing gear must follow can be calculated to maintain clearances while staying within the limitations of the nosewheel maximum deflection, and can be marked on the hangar floor for easy single person ground handling.
Getting the most out of your hangar requires functionality. We have helped hangar owners install wireless switches to control airplane engine heaters that can be remotely turned on and off. This ensures that the engine oil is warmed prior to cold starts to minimize engine wear during cold temperature operations.
This can also include wireless thermostats allow for remotely controlled temperature setting and two-way security cameras to remotely monitor your hangar and alert you to any activity.
Wireless security systems and cameras allow you to be notified of any activity at your hangar, from doors or windows opening, to motion detection and tracking and recording.
