    摘要: An articulated hinge assembly for connecting a door to a fuselage of an aircraft includes an articulated hinge arm having a first hinge member pivotably coupled to a second hinge member at an elbow. A fuselage fitting is pivotably coupled to a fuselage bracket and a door fitting is pivotably coupled to a door bracket of the door. The articulated hinge arm is movable from a collapsed position to an expanded position to move the door from a door closed position to a door open position. The articulated hinge assembly includes a linkage assembly coupled to the articulated hinge arm, the fuselage fitting and the door fitting controlling movement of the first hinge member and the second hinge member relative to each other and relative to the fuselage fitting. The linkage assembly controls positioning of the door.

    摘要: A hinge assembly for connecting a door to a fuselage of an aircraft includes a hinge arm having a fuselage fitting pivotably coupled to a fuselage rotatable interface and a door fitting pivotably coupled to a door rotatable interface. The hinge assembly includes a programmable gear assembly coupled to the hinge arm allowing the hinge arm to pivot around the fuselage fitting when the door is moved from a door closed position to a door open position and causing the door to maintain in a generally parallel orientation relative to the fuselage between the door closed position to the door open position. The programmable gear assembly includes a fuselage gear coupled to the fuselage fitting, a door gear coupled to the door fitting, and a rack operably coupled between the fuselage gear and the door gear.

    摘要: A coaxial pressure lock assembly of an aircraft door, the coaxial pressure lock assembly comprises a pressure panel positioned adjacent an opening formed in the aircraft door such that the pressure panel is seated in the opening when the pressure panel is in a closed position, and a latch shaft extending through a clevis of the pressure panel. The latch shaft is configured to rotate about a latch shaft rotational axis extending through the latch shaft. The pressure panel is rotatable between the closed position and an open position about the latch shaft rotational axis. The latch shaft is a portion of a latch assembly configured to allow or prevent unlatching the aircraft door.
