han·gar [ hángər ] (plural han·gars)


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

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.
