NAWCAD's Shielded Hangar Celebrates 75 Years; Let's Take a Tour!
Hangar 144, the Shielded Hangar, celebrates 75 years of service in 2024. The hangar, known for its hand-soldered galvanized steel mesh enclosure, was born out of necessity after World War II to test aircraft in an environment free from external radio frequency interference. In addition, the hangar conducts lightning related testing, electrostatic discharge testing, and precipitation static testing, to name a few. The hangar also houses a small anechoic chamber in the nose bay, which can accommodate testing for small tactical aircraft, as well as ground systems.
