What is the purpose of airplane hanger?

Question

I need a detail description...plz help me!!!

Answer 1

It is the place where the aiplane sits when it is not in use... it serves as shelter from weather... many have a climate controlled enviornment... it is secure... it allows for maintinance...

It is basically for an airplane, everything that a garage is for a car.

Answer 2

To allow the aircraft to avoid the elements, which is the same reason that we have homes for humans, dog houses and those of us that can park our cars in a garage. (And yes, I've parked my car in a hangar before, and lived in a hangar for about 2 weeks. Long story, but cool, my longest commute was 4/10's mile to get breakfast in the morning.)

Aircraft are more susceptible to the decay caused by wind, rain and hail than automobiles are. It's also more difficult to dissipate heat from an aircraft on a hot day. Would you rather get into your car when it's been parked in the sun, or when it's been parked under some sort of shade?

Many aircraft owners take pride in their aircraft, which isn't surprising when you consider that they can spend anywhere from about what my house cost, to the $80million dollar range. You wouldn't park a Lamborghini on the street in Harlem unless you were hoping for an insurance claim.

Maintenance is often an ongoing thing with aircraft. From oil changes on piston aircraft, to avionics trouble shooting, tracking a hydraulic leak, or simply replacing and testing a push to talk, (PTT,) switch, changing tires, annual inspections, airworthiness directive compliance, you're not going to find a mechanic who has paid out the ying-yang for school, and going to invest in a Suburban to store his tools in because he's working in the elements every day.

Maintenance has to go on, regardless of the weather, and believe me, there are a number of things you don't want to attempt on the ramp if you can avoid it. Some things, such as weighing an aircraft for a new weight and balance certificate, can't be done in the elements of wind, rain, snow due to the inaccuracies the elements would cause. Maintenance also requires some fairly large tools; parts cleaners, spark plug test machines, cranes, dollies, jacks, calibrated tools, (torque wrenches, etc,) air compressors, hydraulic mules, huffers for hull pressure testing and leak detection. All of these, need a place to live, indoors and where they can be controlled by the owner. A good line rat knows where he can steal anything his company doesn't have to get the job done; trust me, I've done it. And worse line rats have a good idea just how much copper is in a GPU, and what the price of copper is at the scrap yard.

The purpose of an aircraft hanger is protection of the aircraft from the elements, security of the aircraft, storage of equipment,tools and parts inventory, to support maintenance that can't be safely performed in the elements and to provide some relief from the elements to the mechanics working on the airplanes.

Boiled down, aviation and the maintenance, infrastructure and the safety of flight doesn't exist without hangars.

Answer 3

It has the same purpose as a garage for cars - to shield the aircraft from the elements of the weather.
And just an fyi when spelling the word hanger for aviation purposes it is spelled hangar.

Answer 4

Aircraft hangars can be classed as follows:-
1. Storage of aircraft. Keeps them away from the elements and prevents dust and blowing sand to enter the openings on the aircraft. These also keep prying eyes away and prevent any unauthorised personnel from approaching the aircraft.
2. Apart from storage, hangars also can be combined with maintenance capabilities where routine servicing and minor repairs etc., can be carried out. Such hangars ensure that jobs are carried out on the aircraft without the effects of the weather disrupting the work.
3. Dedicated maintenance and overhaul hangars where the major engineering jobs can be carried out on an aircraft. These also house proper engineering workshops/offices, inventories of spare parts, electronic/avionic test banks, machining facilities and test benches for engines and other major components. Such hangars are also certified by the relevant regulatory bodies.
4. Hangars are also used for housing flight simulators.

Answer 5

They use the hanger as a garage for the aircrafts. The hanger protects the plane from weather when it is not in use, and also maintenance of the plane.

Answer 6

an Air craft hanger, has the purpose of storing aircraft, and sheilding them from the Rain, Snow, Sun and other elements. This alows repairs, and such be done and out of poor weather.

Answer 7

An airplane hanger is a device for lifting airplanes that are equipped with lifting eyes, either for overhead storage or to change the floats back to wheels.
An airplane hangar is a building to house aircraft out of the weather.

Answer 8

For smaller aircraft it may be used to simply protect from the weather. However for large commercial aircraft it used as a place to perform either major repairs or to perform major routine maintenance. This would include structural repairs, engine changes, major overhaul etc......

Answer 9

A hangar provides enclosed space for storing aircraft to protect them from the weather and security breaches, as well as an enclosed space for maintenance and repair activities.

Answer 10

Aircraft storage out of the elements.
