Hangar rash, or damage to aircraft during hangar movements, is a major cost to the industry and one that Hangar Safe, a California company making its NBAA-BACE debut this year, looks to reduce or even eliminate. Under development for the past five years, the company has developed an AI-based hangar rash avoidance system, which recently completed a successful beta test program. Hangar Safe—which is booked through the end of the year­—is now accepting 2024 installation slots.

According to CEO Ryan Crowl, his impetus to create the system was based on real-world experience gathered from his “day job” as the president of Meadows Field (KBFL) FBO Loyd’s Aviation.
