Etymology

The term 'hangar' is derived from the Middle French word 'hanghart', which means 'to shelter or cover'. This word itself can be traced back to the Germanic root 'hangan', which means 'to hang', relating to how structures were used historically to cover objects. The use of hangars in aviation became significant in the early 20th century, as aircraft technology advanced and the need for protection against the elements became paramount. Prior to formal hangar structures, early aviators often used wooden sheds or makeshift coverings for their planes. The establishment of dedicated hangars allowed for safer storage, maintenance, and operations of aircraft, reflecting the evolution of aviation and its infrastructure.
