Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / Hangartore
English term or phrase: clamshell doors
Wie heißen diese Tore auf Deutsch? Ich benötige den Ausdruck für eine Bedienungsanleitung.

Zweiflügelige gerundete Hangartore? Doppelflügelige Hangar-Rundtore?

Hier ein Link samt Fotos als Beispiel:
