Abstract
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.
