Hangar Types for Russellville
Private Owner Hangars
Russellville's active general aviation community needs secure hangar space for personal aircraft. We engineer private hangars from 40' to 70'+ widths to accommodate single-engine through light twin aircraft. Features include bi-fold or sliding doors, workshop space, parts storage, and optional climate control to protect your investment from Arkansas weather.
Box Hangars
Box hangars provide efficient individual aircraft storage with separate units and doors. These clear-span structures offer weather protection and security without shared walls. Missouri Metal Buildings engineers box hangars appropriate for the general aviation aircraft typical at KRUE — Cessnas, Pipers, Beechcraft, and similar aircraft.
Corporate Hangars
Arkansas Nuclear One (Entergy), Arkansas Tech University, Tyson Foods, and other employers in the Russellville area create demand for corporate aviation facilities. We design corporate hangars with executive finishes, office integration, and sizing for business turboprops and light jets that can operate from KRUE's runway.
Maintenance Hangars
Aircraft maintenance at Russellville Regional requires functional shop space. We engineer maintenance hangars with proper flooring, electrical capacity, compressed air, and the layout needed for efficient aircraft service. Clear heights accommodate wing-over-wing maintenance positioning when needed.
