Company Offers Remote Hangar Operations

For those who wish to operate their hangar functions remotely, the makers of HangarBot have a solution. The company, Lynk Remote Technologies, is exhibiting its system at EAA’s AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin July 23-29.

The HangarBot system consists of a cellular-enabled hub; networked electrical outlet accessories; and an iOS mobile application, which will allow users to activate functions such as unlocking/opening the hangar door, turning on lights, heating systems, fans or dehumidifiers, and remotely controlling engine heating systems.

Under development since 2014, the HangarBot system employs motion detection and video camera surveillance, internally stores up to 20 days of video, can stream surveillance video through the app, and provides notifications on the arrival of aircraft, door openings, or even the triggering of motion alarms directly to the user’s smartphone.

In Oshkosh, the Los Angeles-based company is offering live demonstrations of the system (Hangar D, Booth 4087).

Hangar Monitoring System Makes Its Debut at Oshkosh

After two years of development, Los Angeles-bases Lynk Remote Technologies is debuting its new HangarBot aircraft hangar monitoring system this week at EAA AirVenture (Booth 4060D).

Hangar Tech: Companies Connecting Owners to Their Hangars

Today, the term “smart home” is not uncommon. More and more, homeowners can simply use mobile apps to control home features such as garage doors, lighting, entertainment systems, doorbells, security cameras, appliances and more. The benefits of such technology include safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness and convenience. Maybe you have integrated such smart products throughout your own home. According to an online report, the smart homes market was valued at $64.60 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $246.42 billion by 2025.

So, with the obvious surge expected in smart homes, we wondered is there work toward “smart hangars?” The buildings we house our pricy and precious flying investments? Fortunately, in recent years, several companies have entered the industry with that very mission of integrating technology between pilot-owners and hangars. Below, we explore three of those companies: HangarBot, HangarStack and Hangar Tonight.

Five on The Fly: Morgan Walker

1) What inspired you to create HangarBot?

HangarBot was created as a solution-based product to automate the needs of general aviators. Our mission is to usher the aviation industry into a more modern, convenient and connected era.

The first product created was the HangarBot Door Controller. A friend and I were looking for an easy remote that would allow him to open his hangar door as he was taxiing in, or even from home for those occasional calls to his mechanic. From there, we wanted to keep building solutions and began polling pilots to see what other tasks they would like to automate during either preflight or post-flight.

Go Remote Controll

One of the major ­advantages of storing your airplane in a common-storage hangar is line-service personnel will usually pull your aircraft in and out in time to your schedule. Common storage often includes a host of additional services for a monthly rental fee, often twice the price of a T hangar. Line-service folks can help make sure the ­engine is kept warm in winter if the large hangar doesn’t happen to be heated.

Now, thanks to ­HangarBot, pilots can enjoy some of those special services with an electronic butler to keep an eye on a variety of necessary tasks while the aircraft sits comfortably in a much less expensive T hangar. HangarBot’s main inside-the-­hangar unit is controlled by an app on the user’s ­smartphone. The company’s Wi-Fi-enabled assistant can turn on the heat of the hangar or power to an engine block heater to get that Continental or Lycoming ready for the pilot on a cold winter morning. HangarBot creates its own Wi-Fi hotspot inside the hangar for those ­last-minute chart or flight-planning ­data downloads, a handy item for T-hangar tenants ­located in areas with poor ­cellphone service.
