PanHorizon designs and manufactures mobile pneumatic-frame hangars with an automatic pressure system that does not require continuous inflation. Structures made of high-strength PVC membrane with an air-bearing frame allow you to quickly create protected space for aircraft storage and maintenance without permanent construction or a complex foundation.

"We design pneumatic aviation hangars individually for each type of equipment — from business jets and helicopters to UAVs. The main advantage of the structure is the complete absence of internal supports. This provides maximum free space and makes it possible to comfortably accommodate aircraft of any configuration. All calculations for wind and snow loads, as well as temperature conditions, are made with a safety margin so that the hangar can reliably serve for more than 25 years.”
"We design every hangar around an air-bearing frame made of high-strength PVC membrane. Cutting and seam welding are performed with millimetre accuracy — this determines the tightness and strength of the entire structure. We do not use sewing or glue. Thanks to our technology, installation takes only 2 to 10 days, and if necessary the hangar can be dismantled and moved to a new site. This is true mobility without loss of reliability."
"Clients choose PanHorizon pneumatic hangars because it is a fast and cost-effective solution: production in 2–5 weeks, installation without a permanent foundation, delivery across Africa, the Middle East and other regions. We specifically structure the page so that the client immediately sees the key benefits — speed, strength, versatility and the possibility of receiving a cost estimate as early as the next business day. That is why conversion from this page remains consistently high."

- Fast installation — assembly takes from 2 to 10 days
- No internal supports — maximum free space
- High strength — resistance to wind, precipitation and temperature fluctuations
- Mobility — the hangar can be dismantled and moved to a new site without material loss
- Cost efficiency — significantly cheaper than permanent buildings, including maintenance
- No foundation — installed on a prepared site anywhere
- Versatility — suitable both for storage and for technical maintenance
Why a pneumatic hangar is preferable to a metal hangar for aircraft storage and maintenance
When choosing a structure for aircraft, the key factors are the free geometry of the interior space, the speed of construction, the absence of a permanent foundation and the possibility of later relocation.
A classic metal hangar has several significant limitations:
- Internal supports or reduced height near the walls, which make it difficult to manoeuvre aircraft with a large wingspan
- The need for a foundation and long construction times
- A de facto stationary facility that is difficult to move
- High costs for temporary or seasonal use
How we work
We receive the request
Within 1 business day we clarify the task, the dimensions of your aircraft and the region of operation.

We manufacture the frame
All joints are made by high-frequency and thermal welding. We test for airtightness.
We assemble and fix it to the site
We connect engineering networks, ventilation, lighting and video surveillance.
We will answer any questions
QUESTION:
What keeps the structure standing?
ANSWER:
A valve system regulates the pressure in the frame, releasing or adding air as needed.
QUESTION:
How often is inflation required?
ANSWER:
The system works automatically and activates only when necessary — continuous inflation is not required.
QUESTION:
Is the structure sensitive to power outages?
ANSWER:
No. The equipment can operate from a solar panel and can easily withstand power interruptions of several hours.
QUESTION:
How long does it take to install an aviation hangar?
ANSWER:
On average from 2 to 10 days, depending on the size of the structure.
QUESTION:
Is a foundation required?
ANSWER:
The hangars are installed on a prepared site without a permanent foundation. Sand ballast or anchoring engineering systems are used for this.
QUESTION:
Can a hangar be designed for a specific type of aircraft?
ANSWER:
Yes. We design structures individually according to the dimensions of your aircraft and the client’s requirements.
QUESTION:
What is the service life of a pneumatic hangar?
ANSWER:
With proper operation — more than 25 years.
QUESTION:
Do you work with government clients?
ANSWER:
Yes. We carry out projects both for private owners and for government organisations.
QUESTION:
Which African countries do you work with?
ANSWER:
We have a branch in Togo and, from the port of Lomé, we ship hangar assembly kits in sea containers across English-speaking Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Liberia, Sierra Leone and others) and the Middle East.
Why choose PanHorizon pneumatic hangars for aircraft storage?
When designing facilities for aircraft storage and aviation technical maintenance, real operating parameters are of key importance. Pneumatic-frame structures are developed taking into account operating conditions at aerodromes, aprons, remote sites and MRO facilities.
The wind load is set in the range of 35–45 m/s depending on the region and the exposure of the site. These values are especially important for open airfields and temporary aircraft stands constantly exposed to wind. The snow load is calculated within 80–150 kg/m². The arched shape of the structure facilitates natural snow shedding and reduces peak loads on the envelope. The operating temperature range is from –50 °C to +70 °C, which allows the hangars to be used both in hot climates and in regions with pronounced seasonal temperature variations.
The envelope is made of reinforced PVC membrane with a density of 650–900 g/m² and a thickness of 0.55–0.80 mm. The material has high tensile strength, resistance to ultraviolet radiation and meets fire safety requirements (combustibility class G1, RP2, B2). These characteristics provide reliable protection of aircraft from environmental impact.
With proper operation, the service life of the structure exceeds 25 years. The automatic pressure maintenance system operates in the range of 1.5–3.0 kPa and activates only when necessary. Power consumption is from 0.7 to 8 kW depending on the area of the structure. Continuous fan operation is not required, which reduces operating costs.
All membrane joints are made by high-frequency and thermal welding without thread seams. This technology ensures high tightness and mechanical strength of the joints throughout the entire service life. Embedded fittings, connection points for engineering systems (ventilation, lighting, video surveillance, fire alarm) and reinforced zones are provided at the design stage. This makes it possible to adapt the structure for aircraft storage, maintenance, placement of MRO equipment and organisation of aircraft parking within existing aerodrome infrastructure.
The absence of internal supports maximises the usable volume and simplifies the manoeuvring of aircraft, including those with a large wingspan and a high vertical tail. The design allows for the integration of light lifting devices and maintenance equipment.
