Norco's innovative solution features a custom-engineered aperture door, precisely tailored to the exact contours of the C-130 aircraft. This specialized design allows the C-130's empennage (tail section) to extend outside the hangar while the door forms a complete, weather-tight seal around the fuselage.
This unique capability enables the hangar to maintain optimal climate control, protecting sensitive equipment and personnel within. It is a critical feature that ensures operational continuity and preserves asset integrity, particularly vital given evolving climate conditions and the increasing frequency of inclement weather events.
