Overview

The primary Navy aviation facilities this page will focus on are: aircraft maintenance hangars, paint hangars, jet engine test cells, and air traffic control.

Navy aviation facility design is typically approached with the intent of maximizing the functional uses for the squadrons as well as providing for future mission change. Facilities are generally standardized in size to allow for carrier-based aircraft to be accommodated in one size of facility and for larger marine patrol aircraft to be housed in another facility type
