Abstract
An aircraft armrest lifting mechanism generally biases the aircraft armrest toward a raised configuration. A linear actuator applies tension to a cable connected to a portion of an armrest hub connected to an armrest shaft. The portion of the armrest hub extends some distance from the armrest shaft so that the linear actuator applies a moment between an attachment point on the armrest and the armrest shaft that tends to rotate the armrest toward a raised configuration.
