Permanent hangar construction requires civil works, extended lead times, fixed foundations and significant capital expenditure — constraints that are incompatible with expeditionary operations, AOG response, temporary base infrastructure, or rapid industrial deployment. Conventional temporary structures rarely offer the clear spans, structural reliability or lifecycle serviceability required for aviation and defense operations.
The ARCON rapid-deployment hangar uses parallel low-pressure tubes as primary structural elements, forming a lightweight ribbed structure stabilized by controlled internal pressure. The system can be deployed without civil works or heavy equipment, transported in standard containers, and commissioned in days. Spans range from 20 to 75 metres of clear width, with bespoke configurations available for specific operational requirements.
