Hangar Layout Tool

Stop Guessing. See Your Hangar Layout in 3D.

Your aircraft mix changes every day. A G700 lands at 4 PM and needs to be inside by 6. Your line lead is staring at a whiteboard trying to figure out what moves. AirPlx replaces that whiteboard with a 3D layout tool that shows exact clearances, tow paths, and fit, before anyone fires up a tug.

Drag-and-drop aircraft layout tool with realistic dimensions

01Drag-and-Drop Layout

Drag, drop, and know it fits, down to the inch

No more eyeballing whether that Citation clears the hangar column. Drag any aircraft from a library of 1,000+ models directly into your actual hangar floor plan. See exact clearances to walls, doors, columns, and neighboring aircraft in real time. Repositioning takes seconds, not minutes of whiteboard erasing and arguing.

02True 3D Clearances

Stop guessing whether that G650 clears the King Air's tail

2D floor plans lie. They can't tell you if a Phenom's tail clears a Challenger's wing at 14 feet. AirPlx renders your hangar in true 3D so you can verify every wing-over-wing overlap, tail height, and vertical gap before committing to a layout. See problems on screen, not on the insurance claim.

031,000+ Aircraft Library

Every aircraft your FBO handles, verified to the inch

From a Cessna 172 trainer to a Gulfstream G700, every model includes manufacturer-verified wingspan, length, height, and tail height. When a customer calls asking if their new Global 7500 fits in your hangar tonight, you'll have the answer in seconds, not after a tape measure and a prayer. Need a model we don't have? We add custom aircraft same-day.

Team collaboration on hangar layout with real-time sharing across devices

04One Layout, Every Screen

Your whole team sees the same plan, no more whiteboard photos

The night shift changes the layout. The morning crew walks in blind. Sound familiar? AirPlx gives line crew, managers, and customer service one live layout on any device. No more texting whiteboard photos between shifts or discovering surprises at 6 AM. Everyone works from one source of truth, updated in real time.

What FBO operators say about our hangar layout tool

  • It lets us play chess with the pieces before we go out and do it in real life. If we fit two more airplanes in a night, we've paid for AirPlx for a year.

  • I didn't realize how helpful it would be for lining up aircraft. We don't have to guess anymore.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our hangar layout tool

Is this hangar layout tool free to try?

Yes. Book a free 15-minute layout session and we'll build your exact hangar in AirPlx while you watch. You'll see how your current aircraft mix fits, and we'll show you optimized alternatives, with no commitment required.

Can I create layouts for multiple hangars?

Yes. AirPlx supports unlimited hangars and ramp areas. Many FBOs manage 3-10+ facilities in a single account. Each hangar gets its own accurate floor plan with doors, columns, and obstructions modeled.

How accurate are the aircraft dimensions?

All 1,000+ aircraft models use manufacturer-published dimensions including wingspan, length, height, and tail height. We verify against type certificates. When you place a G650 next to a King Air in the tool, the clearances match what you'd measure on the hangar floor.

Does this replace AutoCAD or Visio for hangar layouts?

For daily aircraft placement planning, yes. AutoCAD is built for architects. AirPlx is built for the line lead who needs to fit a last-minute G700 arrival into a hangar that's already holding six jets. It's specialized for aviation operations where the mix changes every day and speed matters more than drafting precision.
