Abstract:

The report describes a lightweight, high-mobility structural concepts for shelters used primarily for general purposes, hangars used for temporary aircraft storage, and maintenance docks for support of aircraft maintenance crews. Five shelter concepts are described 20 to 27 span variations several offer modular growth patterns. Four hangar concepts are described 50 to 120 span. Six maintenance dock concepts are described. The designs are both the aircraft-enclosing type and the access-platform type. One universal panel and beam shelter capable of various spans and shapes is discussed. Models were built of twelve of the concepts for design evaluation. Structural design feasibility analyses were performed and are included as an appendix. Author
