Modular Steel Structure Aircraft Hangar
KXD Steel manufactures customized steel aircraft hangar buildings designed to protect and maintain small and large aircraft. Our prefabricated metal structures provide ideal solutions for personal aviation storage, commercial aircraft, and private jets. Steel construction offers durability to withstand constant weather changes and can be repurposed for new hangar projects.
Steel Aircraft Hangar Building Specifications
Aircraft hangars are large-span single-story buildings used for aircraft storage and maintenance. Building specifications vary based on multiple factors:
- Aircraft type, quantity, and maintenance requirements
- Height and layout restrictions for hangar structure
- Hangar door, crane, and working platform specifications
- Fire protection facility configurations
- Site conditions and future development planning
Structural Design Features
Large Span Construction: Large aircraft hangars typically span over 62m with heights around 20m, while medium-sized hangars exceed 42m spans.
Open Front Design: The hangar front features large openings without pillars to accommodate aircraft movement, with gate structure being a critical design element.
Roof Rigidity: Roof systems require significant rigidity, with special consideration for wind load effects when doors are open.
Building Structure
Steel structures provide optimal solutions for large-span hangar roofs due to high strength-to-weight ratio, reduced cross-sections, and cost efficiency.
Fire Protection Design
Hangars require comprehensive fire protection systems due to large spaces, maintenance equipment, and combustible materials. High-foam fire extinguishing systems are commonly implemented.
Aircraft Hangar Door Systems
Hangar doors feature unique structures due to large dimensions and weight requirements. Doors typically span the full hangar height, divided into 10-20 meter wide sections with dedicated guide structures and bottom track wheel support systems.
Rigid Frame Door Design
The door system incorporates hanging columns on roof beams with connecting beams and additional steel frames. Angle bracing creates enclosed structures that enhance door rigidity and distribute wind loads through roof and column bracing systems.
Advantages of Steel Aircraft Hangar Buildings
Customized Solutions
Prefabricated steel structures tailored for aircraft storage and maintenance, accommodating large doors and additional spaces like workshops, offices, and meeting rooms.
Design Flexibility
Steel construction allows adaptation to various aviation regulations and specific airport requirements during design phase.
Rapid Assembly
Pre-engineered components designed for quick connection, reducing required skill level and assembly time at construction site.
Easy Erection
Factory-prefabricated frame components assemble quickly using high-strength bolts and self-drilling screws, reducing construction time by up to one-third compared to traditional methods.
