Structures and Sizes
Hangars need special structures to be built. The width of the doors have to be large, and this enables the aircraft entrance. The bigger the aircraft are to be introduced, the more complex structure is needed. According to the span of the hangar, the sizes can be classified:
| Size - | Span (meters) |
| S - | Less than 30 m |
| M - | 30 m – 60 m |
| L - | 60 m – 90 m |
| XL - | 90 m – 120 m |
| XXL - | More than 120 m |
The XXL hangars are built for the biggest aircraft in the world: Airbus A380, Boeing 747, etc. These size hangars are the most complex to build. An example of this can be seen here:
- Hangar size XXL - Hangar of Iberia Desarrollo Barcelona

Famous quotes containing the word structures:
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
