BUTLER BUILDING
AIRCRAFT HANGAR

Metal buildings have long been the preferred choice for aircraft hangars and aviation storage facilities. Many metal hangars have remained in service for decades, with some exceeding 50 years of continuous use.

Their popularity comes from their ability to provide large, unobstructed interior spaces and accommodate a variety of hangar door systems. Custom engineered steel framing can span more than 200 feet and reach heights exceeding 90 feet, making it possible to house modern aircraft while allowing space for fire protection and sprinkler systems.

Advancements in metal building technology have made it possible to achieve even greater roof spans, enabling facilities to accommodate today’s larger commercial aircraft. From private aviation to wide body airliners, modern hangars can provide the space needed for both storage and maintenance operations.

Aircraft owners understand that purchasing an aircraft is only one part of the overall investment. Ongoing expenses such as maintenance, fuel, staffing, and operations contribute significantly to the total cost of ownership.

Because of this investment, having a dependable hangar is essential. A properly designed facility helps protect valuable aircraft while providing efficient use of space and resources. Whether the goal is storage, maintenance, or fleet operations, selecting the right building solution can save both time and money throughout the life of the facility.

Whether you own a single aircraft or manage a large fleet, Butler Manufacturing™ offers hangar solutions designed to meet a wide range of aviation requirements.

Maximum Design Flexibility

The appearance of an aircraft hangar can be just as important as its functionality. Butler buildings can be customized to match your vision while maintaining the performance and durability required for aviation applications.

Our structural systems provide exceptional flexibility in building design, allowing you to create the size, layout, and configuration that best suits your operation. Exterior finishes can include metal panels, concrete, brick, stone, glass, and other architectural materials to achieve the desired look and feel.

The clear span design eliminates interior columns, providing uninterrupted floor space for aircraft movement, storage, and maintenance. If future growth is anticipated, hangars can also be designed for expansion, minimizing future costs and operational disruptions.

Hangar Doors

Because hangar doors operate on a large scale and play a critical role in daily operations, selecting the right system is essential. Butler works closely with customers to identify the most suitable door solution and coordinate the structural and installation requirements needed for reliable performance.
