What is a hangar designed to provide?
an environmentally protected area to perform maintenance on aircraft or store them away from the elements.
Hangar type 1
maintenance - primarily designed for carrier aircraft, adaptable various types of smaller aircraft. O1 and O2 configured for typical strike fighter squadron, two carrier airborne early warning squadrons, or a helicopter antisubmarine warfare squadron. The
Hangar type 2
US Marine Corps Aviation. Designed
for CH-53 Helicopters, V-22 Ospreys and C-130 Hercules aircraft. also accommodate Navy C-130, V-22 and H-53 . 119 feet deep by 325 feet wide.
Hangar type 3
designed for land based patrol and large transport aircraft. 165 feet deep by 165 feet wide.
Peculiar items to the shore based hangars
- Red fire lane must be kept clear at all times.
- Portable CO2 fire extinguishers mounted on the bulkhead above the deck.
- Aircraft electrical system with cords for applying external electrical power to aircraft.
- Manually or automatically operated han
Fire Protection Systems
- A low level AFFF system with low profile nozzles
- A closed head water only overhead sprinkler system
- Optical detection system to activate the low level AFFF system.
- Appropriate drainage systems
- Draft curtains earlier detection of heat sources.
cost for a false activation of fire suppression system
$80,000 due to the following:
- Damage to aircraft
- Cost to recharge the system
- Cost of run-off retention
- Cost of AFFF removal
- Associated manpower expenses
