Fig.7. Hangar Design

These hangar types have several hangar bays that are specifically made to store planes as
cheaply as possible. Standard (stacked) T Hangars and are the two different types of T-Hangars.

Standard T hangars

These hangars, often referred to as stacked T hangars, are made to utilise the least amount of
internal floor area. They are often lengthier in design than nested T hangars, but they do provide
access from both the front and back of the hangar bay. There is frequently excess space at each
end of the hangar, which can be used as separate storage or office space or included as part of the
end hangars. For easier access, the rear of the hangar bay can be equipped with a roller door or a
personnel door.
Nested Tee-Hangers

Compared to regular T hangars, nested T hangars are shorter but wider. As a result, less taxiway
length is required. This design includes additional room for offices or storage at either end of the
hangar, just like the regular t hangers.
Each hangar bay can only be accessed through the main hangar door due to the way it is
designed.
These hangar designs are comparable to those of individual hangars, but they have additional
room to accommodate the storing of additional aircraft next to one another. Every hangar bay
has its own hangar door and is separated from the others by a wall for security and privacy.
