Hangar

A hangar is a metal, wooden, or concrete structure designed to hold one or many aircraft in protective storage. Hangars may be used to protect aircraft from weather or enemy attack (if in a wartime environment), when undergoing repairs, or are simply not in use. Any type of aircraft can be housed in a hangar—some very large ones were constructed to house dirigibles during refueling and boarding. The word hangar comes from a northern French dialect, and literally means "cattle pen."
