How big can an inflatable hangar be?

Large enough for light aircraft and helicopters in current market practice. The binding constraints are wind loading and anchoring rather than the fabric, and both need structural verification for the specific site.

Can a hangar be moved after installation?

Yes — that is the point of the construction. It deflates, folds and travels, and the apron is left as it was found, which is why it suits forward airfields and seasonal use.

Does an inflatable radome affect signal?

Any material in the beam path attenuates signal. Radar-transparent performance requires specific materials and measurement. A general-purpose membrane is suitable for weather protection of a parked antenna, not for operation through it.

D7 · EXPENSIVE THINGS, NO PERMANENT BUILDING

Deployable hangars and equipment shelters

My aircraft and equipment need cover, but I cannot build a permanent hangar here.

Hangars, maintenance shelters and covers for sites where a permanent building is not possible, not permitted, or not worth it.

一句话结论

The alternative to a deployable hangar is usually not a cheaper hangar — it is no hangar, with the aircraft or equipment sitting in the weather. These structures exist for forward airfields, seasonal operations, sites under construction, and anywhere the ground will be handed back. When the operation ends the apron is clear.

典型场景

Forward and temporary airfields
UAV operating bases
Maintenance during airport construction
Equipment storage and preservation
Radar and communications protection
Vehicle and machinery cover

The figure we will not estimate

Large-span capability is precisely the number that requires verified working pressure and a structural calculation, and we have neither yet. We will not state a maximum span, wind rating or snow load until those exist. Anyone in this category quoting a span without a calculation behind it is selling you a risk you cannot see.
