Problem
General aviation pilots often rely on disparate tools to log flights, obtain airport information, and connect with fellow aviators, leading to fragmented data, manual entry, and limited community interaction.
Solution
Hangar provides a mobile‑first social platform that automatically records flights via ADS‑B and GPS, turning each journey into a shareable track. An interactive airport map aggregates fuel prices, FBO services, runway specifications, and pilot reviews, enabling pilots to plan stops efficiently. The app includes immersive 3D flight replays and a digital logbook that stores searchable flight history. Users can follow other pilots, comment on flights, and build a network focused solely on general aviation, fostering knowledge exchange without unrelated noise.
Target Audience
The primary users are general aviation pilots and flight schools seeking an integrated tool for flight tracking, airport planning, and community engagement.
