Hangar Stacking Software for FBOs & Aviation Operations

Hangar stacking software is specialized aviation software that optimizes how aircraft are positioned within hangars. It uses 3D visualization and algorithms to calculate optimal layouts that maximize space utilization while maintaining safety clearances. Unlike manual planning with whiteboards or spreadsheets, hangar stacking software accounts for wing heights, tail clearances, tug paths, and departure sequences automatically.

Traditional 2D planning treats hangars like parking lots, ignoring vertical space. Hangar stacking software optimizes the full cubic volume by calculating which aircraft can safely overlap (like a King Air positioned under a G650's wing). This 3D approach helps you find capacity you didn't know you had.

Most FBOs are fully operational with AirPlx within 1-2 days. We handle the aircraft database setup, import your existing schedules, and train your team. Our system includes 1,000+ pre-loaded aircraft models, so you can start optimizing immediately.

ROI depends on your hangar size, utilization, and rates. Use our ROI calculator to model your specific situation and see the potential revenue impact for your operation.

No. It enhances their capabilities. Your experienced staff know operational nuances that no software can replace. Hangar stacking software handles the complex 3D calculations and departure sequencing, freeing your team to focus on customer service and safety. Many line chiefs become advocates once they see how it eliminates guesswork.

AirPlx offers true 3D visualization (not just 2D floor plans), AutoStack optimization, and 1,000+ aircraft models. We account for departure sequences and tug paths in real-time. Plus, unlimited users, so your entire team can access the platform without per-seat fees.

Yes. AirPlx integrates with popular FBO management systems, scheduling tools, and can import/export data via CSV. We also offer API access for custom integrations with your existing workflow.

Absolutely. In fact, smaller FBOs often see the biggest percentage gains because every aircraft position matters more. AirPlx offers simple, transparent pricing based on operation size, with no complex licensing or hidden fees.

AutoStack is AirPlx's automated hangar stacking algorithm. It calculates optimal aircraft placement by analyzing the full 3D geometry of 1,000+ aircraft models, including wingspan, tail height, and winglet clearances, along with departure sequences and tow paths. AutoStack evaluates thousands of possible configurations in seconds, accounting for safety clearances, egress rules, and wing-over-wing overlaps to maximize the number of aircraft in your hangar. It works alongside manual positioning, and teams can also drag aircraft into place with realistic towing simulation and real-time clearance checks.

Yes. AirPlx provides real-time conflict detection that continuously monitors your hangar and ramp schedule for overlapping aircraft stays, tow path obstructions, and double-booked positions. When a new reservation or schedule change creates a conflict, the system immediately flags the issue and suggests resolution options. This prevents hangar rash incidents, eliminates last-minute scrambles, and ensures your team always has a clear, conflict-free plan.
