Aviation & Aerospace Buildings for
Aircraft Storage, Maintenance & Operations
Aircraft facilities require space that accommodates the aircraft as well as the equipment and operations around it. Our aviation & aerospace buildings provide open space for a variety of applications.
Typical applications include:
- Aircraft storage and hangars
- Aircraft maintenance and repair
- MRO facilities
- Helicopter storage and support
- Ground support equipment
- Airport vehicles and service equipment
- Aircraft parts and material storage
- Aviation workshops and operational areas
The open interior provides the floor space for aircraft, equipment and maintenance operations. Buildings can be configured for dedicated storage or facilities where aircraft operations and storage requirements fit within the same building.
Durable Aviation Buildings
Built for Long-Term Use
Sheltirx aviation buildings are built around a galvanized steel structural frame and high-performance membrane system to provide dependable protection for aircraft, equipment and aviation operations. The combination of durable materials, site-specific engineering and modular construction provides a practical alternative to traditional steel or concrete buildings while reducing construction time and overall project costs.
The hot-dip galvanized steel frame provides long-term resistance to rust and corrosion, with the structural system designed for years of service in outdoor environments. Structures are backed by a 20-year structural guarantee, 10-year fabric guarantee and 5-year spare-parts warranty, giving aviation operators measurable protection beyond the initial installation.
Structures can also be engineered for project-specific wind, snow, seismic and building-code requirements, providing a durable building solution designed around the conditions of the actual aviation site.
Engineered for
Aviation Projects
Sheltirx provides site-specific engineering for projects that require structural drawings and calculations. Drawings and calculations can also be stamped by a licensed PE in the applicable state where required.
The engineering package can be developed around the preferred building configuration, site requirements and intended aviation application. Large access openings and required clearances are incorporated within the building design rather than as added extras.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Sheltirx™ buildings suitable for aircraft hangar applications?
Yes. Sheltirx aviation buildings can be configured for aircraft hangar and storage applications based on aircraft size and required clearance, access and intended application.
What factors determine the right hangar size?
The main considerations are the aircraft wingspan, length, tail height, access opening size and the clearance required for aircraft movement, maintenance and supporting equipment.
Are Sheltirx aviation buildings suitable for MRO operations?
Yes. The open interior provides space for aircraft inspection, servicing, maintenance and repair along with the tools, equipment and parts needed for the work.
What options are available for aircraft access?
Access openings can be incorporated according to aircraft size and the required entrance and exit clearance.
Are these buildings suitable for helicopter storage?
Yes. Aviation buildings can be configured for helicopter storage and support based on aircraft size, clearance and operation requirements.
How are local engineering and site requirements addressed?
Sheltirx provides site-specific engineering for structural loads, building openings, foundations, anchoring and applicable local requirements. PE-stamped drawings and calculations can be provided where required.
What aspects of an aviation building can be customized?
Building width, length, height, openings and enclosure can be configured around the aircraft, site and intended application.
