COMMERCIAL MRO 42 APRIL 2017 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY Megadoor is the modern alternative to the older traditional bot- tom rolling doors. The AAR team first utilized Megadoors on another massive hangar they leased from the Chennault Airport in Louisiana. Pierre Varlamoff with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems says, "One of the goals when designing a cost-effective and efficient hangar facility is to maximize operational flexibility while mini- mizing the hangar square footage and volume. Since, Megadoors lift vertically, the door system can be shaped to the aircraft mix, and they do not require the massive door pockets and track system of conventional bottom rolling doors, saving thousands of square feet of room." Varlamoff says, "The door is comprised of horizontal alumi- num beams that are skinned on the interior and exterior with a PVC-coated polyester fabric which envelopes the side guides. Our unique seals provide exceptionally low air infiltration rates dramatically reducing energy loss in the cold Rockford winters. The translucent white fabric of the door allows natural light into the hangar providing a safer, happier, and more productive work environment for the aircraft technicians."
