A vertical take-off and landing drone hangar
The hanger 10 comprises several roof panels 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 where the roof panels at least partly overlap. The panels can rotate relative to one another about a common axis 24. The panels are rotatable between an erected configuration providing an arched roof and a retracted configuration which allows the drone to leave. Each pair of panels includes an overlapping panel with an inward facing projection and a underlapping panel which comprises an outward projection. The projections arranged such that they prevent separation of the panels in a radial direction. The drones may have a maximum in the range of about 54-63cm. The projections may engage to cause mutual rotation of respective panels towards the erected configuration. The panels may
