Hangar
A hangar is a closed building structure to hold aircraft, or spacecraft. Hangars are built of metal, wood and concrete. The word hangar comes from Middle French hanghart (“enclosure near a house”), of Germanic origin, from Frankish *haimgard (“home-enclosure”, “fence around a group of houses”), from *haim (“home, village, hamlet”) and gard (“yard”).
Hangars are used for protection from the weather, direct sunlight and for maintenance, repair, manufacture, assembly and storage of aircraft, aircraft carriers and ships.
