In aviation ground support systems, the sheltering, daily maintenance, equipment storage and rapid dispatching of aircraft directly determine overall operational efficiency. Long-term outdoor parking exposes aircraft to intense sunlight, rainfall, sandstorms and other harsh environmental conditions. While traditional concrete hangars deliver stable protection, they feature long construction cycles, high upfront investment and poor reusability due to non-detachable structures.
Modular aircraft hangars adopt prefabricated aluminium frame components and assembled main structures. They can be rapidly erected to meet actual demands of aviation bases, temporary airfields and emergency support projects, delivering flexible and reliable operation space for aircraft parking, inspection and dispatching.
Improve Efficiency of Aircraft Parking & Maintenance
Modular aircraft hangars feature a large clear span column-free main structure without upright supports inside, minimizing space segmentation and maximizing layout efficiency for aircraft and tooling equipment.
Span width of hangars ranges from 5m to 100m, with a maximum eave height (side height) of 16m. The hangar suits helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, medium and large transport planes. We flexibly design overall length, span width and eave height based on aircraft wingspan, fuselage height, empennage size and maintenance access requirements, as well as bay spacing specifications.
The spacious interior accommodates complete aircraft parking, and can be partitioned into inspection bays, tool storage zones, spare parts storage areas and ground support equipment operation zones. Aircraft parking, maintenance and material management are integrated within one main structure, cutting time wasted on equipment transfer and staff movement.
Accelerate Aircraft Dispatching & Exit Efficiency
Door configuration directly affects aircraft access efficiency. Liri Structure modular aircraft hangars support a full range of door systems matched to aircraft dimensions, taxi routes and on-site workflows: full-open hangar doors, flexible foldable doors, flexible shutter doors, manual & electric cascading doors, combined flexible shutter doors and more.
Oversized door openings reserve sufficient clearance for wings, rotors and tail fins. Electric opening & closing systems can reduce door operation time and cut waiting time for aircraft entering and exiting.
After inspection, maintenance or pre-flight preparation, aircraft can taxi straight out of the hangar and connect seamlessly with apron or runway areas. This shortens ground preparation time and boosts aircraft dispatching and emergency response efficiency.
Deliver Stable All-Weather Operation Environment
Modular aircraft hangars serve not only as aircraft shelters but also provide a controlled working environment for ground maintenance crews and auxiliary equipment.
The main aluminium frame is manufactured from high-strength 6061-T6 / 6082-T6 aluminium alloy profiles, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and structurally rigid. No severe rusting or deformation occurs after long-term outdoor exposure. With routine maintenance, the aluminium frame boasts a design service life of 20–30 years.
Roof covers adopt double-sided PVC coated fabric with a weight of 850–1050g/㎡, featuring waterproof, UV-resistant and flame retardant properties. The whole structure undergoes professional structural load calculation, with targeted reinforcement design based on local wind loading and snow loading. Matching guy ropes and ground anchors deliver reliable all-weather protection for aircraft and maintenance equipment.
By mitigating disruptions from rain, strong sunlight and sandstorms, modular hangars can reduce maintenance downtime caused by bad weather and ensure continuous aviation ground support work.
Adapt to Dynamic Aviation Support Requirements
Compared with permanent concrete hangars, modular aircraft hangars support full disassembly, transportation and re-installation at new sites.
When flight test bases, aviation event support points or emergency aviation operation zones relocate, the entire hangar can be transported and reassembled for repeated use, eliminating redundant fixed building construction costs. The modular system allows later adjustment of hangar length, functional partitions and modification of door openings, so the space adapts to updated aircraft models and upgraded support tasks.
This detachable, expandable and relocatable design helps aviation operators optimise long-term capital expenditure and rapidly build temporary or semi-permanent aviation shelter space.
With four core advantages — large clear span column-free space, diversified professional door systems, all-weather weatherproof PVC fabric sheltering and fast disassembly & relocation capacity — modular aircraft hangars integrate aircraft parking, maintenance, storage and outbound dispatching into a streamlined, efficient ground operation workflow.
Widely applicable to field aviation stations, temporary flight test bases, aviation event support, emergency aircraft maintenance and other rapid-deployment aviation scenarios, modular hangars offer a prefabricated shelter solution balancing mobility, adaptability and long-term durability for aviation ground operations.
