A "hangar queen" refers to an aircraft ✈️ that spends more time in the hangar being repaired than actually flying. Imagine a car 🚗 that's always in the shop – that's the idea. It's not necessarily bad; it just means it needs constant attention. The term can also be playfully used for something (or someone) that's high-maintenance. Think of it as the opposite of a reliable, go-to item. In essence, it's beautiful but often out of commission.
