han·gar [ hángər ] (plural han·gars)


noun 
Definition:
 
building housing aircraft: a large building in which aircraft are kept or repaired

[Late 17th century. < French, "shed"]

Spelling Note

hangar or hanger? Do not confuse the spelling of hangar and hanger, which sound similar. The noun hangar refers only to a large building for aircraft. The noun hanger has a wider range of meaning, denoting a support or frame for hanging something (as in a clothes hanger) or a short sword worn on a belt.
