Hangar Sliding Doors Mech design
(OP)
Does anybody know where can I find tips, specs, ideas, etc for designing this kind of doors, regarding to mechanical issues as power requirements, velocities, mechanical systems and so on...?
I'm about to begin a design...
Thanks in advance,
Heyner Garcia

Have you tried seaching online (Google) for "airplane sliding hangar door"? There seems to be a bunch of manufacturer's websites that might give you some insight.
Have you checked with your customer concerning their requirements for this project? Perhaps they have a standard they wish to comply with.
Maybe you could get your hands on a copy of AFI 32-1023, Design and Construction Standards and Execution of Facility
Construction Projects (this is an US Air Force standard). It might have a master reference of documents that cover hangar doors.

2nd: Yes, I did it.
3rd: My customer only knows he needs a door.
4th: It sounds useful. How can I get it?
I just want to have a start to avoid the risk of major mistakes, you know, I have never designed a door like this.
Thanks for your tips.
Regards,
Heyner
