Tucson, AZ – It took a few months to get started, but once the idea of stacking aircraft in existing hangars caught on, it took off. In the past year and a half, ARM Aerospace has shipped over 150 Aero-Lift units and foresees an escalation in orders.
Two of their latest shipments went to a jet center FBO, where they will be used to create additional hangar space for turbine aircraft. This trend of FBO purchases is accelerating as more FBO’s look for creative ways to accommodate more customers.
In many cases, individuals are buying the Aero-Lifts to take advantage of overhead space in existing hangars, allowing two aircraft owners to split rising hangar rents. In some cases, it is a matter of an owner stacking his second aircraft, often a homebuilt or antique. Now FBO’s are ordering units to increase utilization of their corporate or jet hangars.
“We knew from the start that once the concept was proven with the FBO’s the word would get around and the demand for the product would increase, and that has definitely happened,” said ARM’s Max Anhoury. “It just makes so much economic sense to utilize the dead overhead space in the typical FBO box hangar.”
ARM Aerospace provides High Density Hangar (HDH) solutions for individuals and commercial applications. ARM’s solutions allow General Aviation aircraft to be “racked and stacked,” which dramatically increases the number of aircraft that can be accommodated in existing hangars. The Aero-Lift and accessories can accommodate almost any type of single engine GA aircraft or helicopter. ARM Aerospace is headquartered in Tucson, AZ and maintains a presence on the web at: www.armaerospace.com or call the company at 520.886.7329.
