the cathedral where machines that defy gravity come to confess their weight.
means A large building, usually with wide doors, where aircraft are sheltered, stored, and repaired.
from From French 'hangar,' meaning a shed or shelter, in use since the 16th century. Its deeper roots are debated: one proposal traces it to a Germanic compound roughly meaning 'enclosure for horses' or a covered space, while another suggests Medieval Latin 'angarium,' a smithy or shed for shoeing horses. Either way, the word long meant a humble outbuilding before the 20th century gave it wings and parked airplanes inside it.
