An awning ventilator hinges at the head and projects out. People shorten it to "hopper" in emails, and hopper usually means the hinge is at the sill.
Use the word the specification uses. If the drawings are silent, do not pick the hinge to make the email shorter. Ask, or mark the operation open.

How is an awning window different from a hopper?
An awning hinges at the head. Do not rename it in the request. Send the operation the drawings use.
