Spanish term or phrase: Elementos que vuelen
Hola:

Estoy traduciendo un proyecto de construcción de un edificio para almacenar mercancías peligrosas y citan a menudo el código técnico de la edificación. En este sentido, me he topado con un párrafo de dicho código que no entiendo en español, por lo que no consigo traducirlo al inglés. Es el siguiente:

"La altura libre de paso en zonas de circulación es superior a 2200 mm. En los umbrales de las puertas la altura libre será mayor a 2000 mm. No existen elementos fijos que sobresalgan de las fachadas. En zonas de circulación, las paredes carecen de elementos salientes que vuelen más de 150 mm en la zona de altura comprendida entre 1000 mm y 2000 mm medida a partir del suelo."

A partir del término "volar" me pierdo. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

Goterón

Se denomina goterón a la hendidura longitudinal que posee la cara inferior de los elementos que vuelan sobre la fachada, tales como aleros, vierteaguas y albardillas, para facilitar que el agua gotee al exterior evitando su revoque hasta la fachada.

According to my 'diccionario técnico' by Guy Malgorn, 'volar' = 'to cantilever'.

In Wiktionary:
Verb
cantilever (third-person singular simple present cantilevers, present participle cantilevering, simple past and past participle cantilevered)

To project (something) in the manner of or by means of a cantilever.

agree  Thomas Walker: I think you're on the right track, but not all elementos salientes are what we would call in English "overhanging". In this case, more likely "projecting": we're talking from 1000-2000 mm, or 3.3 to 6.6 ft; overhanging would usually be higher than that.

  -> You're right of course. It refers to objects that project more than 15 cm, which inclines me to think of gutters and drainpipes (like in my first reference). I think it's clear that it has nothing to do with flying! Thank you, Tom :-)

agree  neilmac: Although "protruding/projecting" are better options if the feature is in a low-lying position.
