Gives Pilots A 3D Tool To Plan, Compare, And Buy Aviation Real Estate
A new consumer platform puts aircraft models and satellite imagery of every general aviation airport in the United States into pilots’ hands before they sign a lease or purchase a hangar.
AV8 Realty has announced the official launch of HangarMax at the 2026 SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Fla. Available now at hangarmax.com, the tool is a browser-based 3D hangar-space planner built for general aviation pilots, aviation property buyers, and real estate agents who specialize in hangar and airpark listings.
The platform is built around one question pilots ask at every hangar showing: Will it fit?
HangarMax supports pilots and aviation property professionals at multiple points in the buying, leasing, and selling process.
Hangar shoppers can compare multiple aviation properties side-by-side using real dimensions and satellite ground imagery, saving hours of site visits. Airpark homeowners can digitally reorganize their hangar before physically moving aircraft or equipment.
Pilots upgrading aircraft can drop candidate planes into their current hangar layout to determine whether they need a larger space before committing to a purchase. Aviation real estate agents and brokers can embed shareable HangarMax links directly in hangar and airpark home listings, giving remote buyers an interactive tool to test-fit their aircraft before the first showing.
And hangar builders and developers can compare footprint options and share layouts with contractors to communicate design requirements precisely.
“Finding the right hangar or airpark home is one of the biggest decisions a pilot makes," said Melanie Riddick, broker and owner of AV8 Realty. "HangarMax eliminates the guesswork. You can test-fit your Baron, your truck, and your workbench in a specific hangar before you ever schedule a showing.”
