Aviation
A smarter alternative to traditional hangars— designed for aircraft storage, maintenance, and MRO
Versatile Aviation Buildings for Aircraft Storage, Maintenance, and Protection
Big Top’s aviation buildings provide high-performance, cost-effective, and adaptable solutions for aircraft storage, maintenance, and repair operations. Designed for protective aircraft shelter needs, these structures support fixed-base operators (FBOs), military aviation, commercial fleets, and aerospace manufacturers by optimizing workflow, reducing operating costs, and enhancing aircraft protection in any environment.
Unlike traditional hangars, our aviation buildings offer rapid installation, scalability, and weather-resistant performance—ensuring long-term operational efficiency for airports, military bases, and aviation storage facilities.
Built for Efficiency, Designed for Protection
Big Top’s aviation buildings are engineered to enhance aircraft protection, crew safety, and maintenance operations.
- Rapid Deployment and Minimal Foundation Work – Installs at up to 2,500 square feet per day, requiring minimal site prep and anchoring to asphalt, concrete, or dirt
- Clear-Span Interiors for Maximum Usable Space – No support columns or guy wires, ensuring unobstructed aircraft storage space and maintenance areas
- Weather-Resistant Durability – Galvanized steel frames and flame-retardant, rip-resistant PVC-vinyl fabric withstand high winds, heavy rain, snow loads, and extreme temperatures
- Customizable Entry and Height Options – Engineered to accommodate single-engine aircraft, commercial jets, and military planes, with custom door configurations to fit operational needs
- Energy-Efficient and Climate Controlled – Translucent fabric reduces lighting costs while blocking 99.95% of harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation, protecting aircraft storage facilities, electronics, and personnel
- Portable and Scalable – Easily moved intact with a crane or disassembled and relocated, making it an ideal long-term or temporary building solution
Custom Solutions for Any Aviation Operation
Big Top’s aviation buildings support a wide range of military, commercial, and private aviation needs:
Aviation Hangars – Fully enclosed, climate-controlled shelters for protective aircraft shelter applications
Aviation Sunshades – Flight line protection for military and commercial aircraft, shielding crews and planes from intense heat, sun, and rain
Aviation Maintenance Facilities – Scalable, cost-effective aviation buildings for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations
Aviation Terminals and Passenger Areas – Temporary or permanent aviation storage facilities for waiting areas, ticketing stations, and operational hubs
A Smarter, More Adaptable Alternative to Traditional Hangars
Traditional metal T-hangars can be costly and inflexible, exposing aircraft to extreme temperatures while creating harsh working conditions for maintenance crews. Big Top’s insulated, climate-controlled aviation buildings provide a superior, adaptable, and cost-effective alternative—reducing overhead while enhancing operational flexibility.
