Is the Piston model right for your aircraft?
The Piston model has a hangar of 17 m wide and 15 m deep, with a clear door height of 4.5 m. It is made for single-engine piston aircraft and light twins, the largest group of private aircraft.
Compare wingspan, length and tail height of your aircraft with the hangar, and leave room to walk around it and to open the doors. A high-wing aircraft, a low-wing aircraft and a light twin each use the floor differently.
Four roof styles
Every model comes with a flat, shed, gable or hipped roof. The roof changes the look and the feel of the penthouse, and local rules sometimes prescribe one. The floor plans stay the same.
What you receive
The preview design PDF shows the floor plans of the hangar and the penthouse, room sizes and heights, the four elevations and illustrations of exterior and interior materials. Use it to discuss your plan with your airfield, municipality or homeowners association.

What does the expert call cost?
The call costs €149 per hour. It takes 60 minutes, by video or phone, with Sjoerd-Jan van Klaarbergen, pilot and CEO of Dutch Houses.
What fits in the Piston hangar?
The hangar is 17 m wide and 15 m deep, with a 4.5 m clear door. Compare these sizes with the wingspan, length and tail height of your aircraft. We check your exact type in the expert call.
Can I change the layout?
Yes. The Piston model has a clear span on both floors, without load-bearing walls, so the layout of hangar and penthouse can be adapted in the final design. A change in size or materials is a customisation, from €4,750 per set of drawings.
Can I order the preview design online?
You request it with the form below. We send you a quote and the next steps by email. The Piston preview design costs €129.

No. It is a concept design to check feasibility with your airfield and local authorities. The final design is the set your builder works from.
