Vertical Lifting Fabric Hangar Doors for Aircraft

Megadoor challenge
This five-bay hangar was originally designed for a sliding door which would have forced the user to either close or open the entire hangar even if access to a single bay was all that was needed. This blocked or exposed every bay and affected work in all areas.

Megadoor solution
A MEGADOOR, engineered in five sections to correspond with each bay, created a better working environment and greater operation flexibility by allowing the user access to individual bays. This also provided more appropriate ventilation for the structure while eliminating an unwanted air draft.

Additional storage space was created by installing the MEGADOOR in front of the main truss and side storage pockets, needed for the old sliding door, were eliminated. As an investment, the reliable MEGADOOR has needed little maintenance over 12 years of operation and even when a tornado caused several million dollars in damages to the airport in 2000, the MEGADOOR survived virtually unscathed.
