What does HANGAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large covered building where aircraft are kept, serviced and repaired.
A hangar is usually a wide, tall shed with big doors, built so that planes or helicopters can be rolled inside out of the weather. Airports, airlines and air forces all use them for maintenance work as well as for storage. The word came into English from French, where it first meant a shed or shelter of any kind, and only later became tied to aviation. Airships were once kept in much larger hangars of the same sort.
