D'Eyncourt pushed for hangar dimensions that worried some contemporaries about stability. His reasoning centred on the people who had to climb onto aircraft, service them, and move them while folding wings were still developing. Uncertainty over whether more powerful aircraft could retain folding wings made generous clearances a hedge against future aviation change. In the video's interpretation, the same preference for larger aviation spaces helps explain why an Eagle-style conversion of an Admiral-class hull could have appealed as a faster, larger strike carrier.

HMS Eagle's hangar designed around aircraft maintenance
Eagle's unusually large, tall hangar reflects d'Eyncourt's attention to maintaining and storing aircraft, not merely fitting them below deck.
