aerial photograph Hangar One Moffett Field — Hangar One was built in the 1930s for the naval airship USS Macon. Designed by German air ship and structural engineer Karl Arnstein, it is the world's largest freestanding structure covering eight acres. Hangar One is over 1000 feet long and 198 feet high and is an example of aerodynamic architecture. The hangar rests on a reinforced pad which is anchored to concrete pilings. The US Navy has evaluated a variety of options for remediating lead, PCBs and asbestos used in the construction of the hangar, and Google executives have proposed participating in cost of restoring the hangar as part of an agreement to store their corporate aircraft in Hangar One.
The lower aerial photograph shows Hangar One's structure under its skin (photographed April 14, 2012) at the doors originally designed to shield the USS Macon from winds as it moved in and out of the hangar.
