A hangar or maintenance facility designed to house and service large aircraft like airships or zeppelins.
Compounds 'air' with 'dock' (from Middle Dutch 'dok'), a term that peaked in usage during the early 20th century when rigid airships required specialized docking structures.
Airdocks were engineering marvels—the massive structures needed to house dirigibles could stretch 800+ feet long and required specialized mooring systems that were technological achievements in themselves.
