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.
