In July 2019, the largest inflatable hangar of the world has been installed by Buildair in Jeddah. Its main function is to shelter and maintain aircrafts such as Airbus 330 or Boeing 777-200ER, during an expected lifetime of 7 years. In addition to size (97,9 x 90 x 33 m) , other outstanding values are the structural efficiency: 40.000 kp / 8.811 m2 = 4,5 kp/m2, the storage volume of parts (700 m3) = 3 ‰ of the built volume (228.365 m3) and the total time (including design, manufacture, transport and installation): 6 months. This values are much lower than those of a conventional hangar.
