Following are the definitions
utilized by our firm. T-Hangar: an individual hangar which typically has the capacity of storing only one aircraft (usually not larger than a cabin class multi-engine aircraft). The hangar derives its name from its shape (in the form of a “T”) which increases the efficiency of the design so as to accommodate the wing span and the tail section of an aircraft. T-Hangars may be individual (stand alone) structures or they may be combined and “nested” so that the tail sections of the “T” configuration interlock to form a single congruous structure. Executive hangar: a square or rectangular-shaped hangar which may stand-alone or be connected to other structures (e.g., other executive hangars, lean-to structures, or FBO terminal buildings). Executive hangars, which are designed primarily to accommodate the “proprietary” aircraft operations of a single company or individual who may or may not service (and stage) their own aircraft. Executive hangars are typically larger than T-Hangars (range in size from 50 feet by 50 feet to upwards of 100 feet by 100 feet) but smaller than most corporate hangars. In many cases, office, shop, and/or storage space is located within the structure. Corporate hangar: a square or rectangular-shaped hangar which is designed to accommodate the “proprietary” aircraft operations of a single company who typically services (and stages) its own aircraft. Corporate hangars, which typically stand alone, are usually larger than executive hangars (may span upwards of 200 feet by 200 feet) and in many cases, they have an attached lean-to structure which houses shop, office, and storage areas. Community (common) storage hangar: a square or rectangular-shaped hangar which is typically connected to other facilities (primarily to lean-to structures and/or FBO terminal buildings). Community hangars, which typically range in size from 75 feet by 75 feet to upwards of 100,000 square feet per building, are typically the largest hangar located at an FBO. Community hangars are typically utilized to accommodate multiple aircraft of various sizes and configurations which are owned by more than one company or individual and are typically serviced by the FBO. The term Port-a-Port is a brand name and they sell T-Hangars. In my mind, a "port-a-port" is more commonly known as those t-hangars that are individual units that may or may not be nested. A T-Hangar complex is more commonly known as a single structure that is subdivided into units in the shape of T's.
