Butzbach offers tail-fin door sections and fuselage modifications that let a hangar door close airtight around the protruding tail fin (vertical stabiliser) or fuselage of tall or long aircraft. The shaped openings accommodate the aircraft's geometry while maintaining the door's weather and thermal seal, extending the usable envelope of an existing hangar.
