a pair of complementary door pieces; and
an actuation mechanism that includes a first transmission member;
wherein the first transmission member actuates either one or both door pieces for portions thereof to be in a sliding action with respect to the fuselage while maintaining close conformity thereto as either one or both of them are actuated to either meet or separate;
wherein the actuation mechanism enables the door pieces to counter-rotate for:
the door pieces to scoop staged delivery goods, so that the delivery goods are supported thereon them, as they are actuated to meet; and
the door pieces to release the delivery goods supported thereon, as they are actuated to separate;
wherein the door pieces comprise a first door piece that includes a first frame and a first panel, and a second door piece that includes a second frame and a second panel;
wherein the first door piece is formed by an arc periphery of the first frame being joined to a concave portion of the first panel laterally near a first end of the first panel, and the second door piece is formed by an arc periphery of the second frame being joined to a concave portion of the second panel laterally near a first end of the second panel;
wherein the first frame further comprises a serrated surface profile that is formed a distance away from its arc periphery and facing away from the first end of the first panel, and the second frame further comprises a serrated surface profile that is formed a distance away from its arc periphery and facing towards the first end of the second panel.
