Abstract
A door assembly for an aircraft includes a door, a door handle, a door hinge, a support assembly, and a lifting assembly. The door handle is rotatable between an unlatched position and a latched position. The support assembly rotatably mounts the door hinge to the door. The lifting assembly includes a latch cam, a lift track, and a latch idler. The latch cam is mounted to the door handle. The latch cam is rotatable with the door handle about the door handle rotational axis. The latch cam forms an eccentric roller path extending about the door handle rotational axis. The latch idler includes a first roller and a second roller. The first roller is disposed on a lift track of the support assembly and configured to roll along the lift track. The second roller is disposed within the eccentric roller path. The latch idler is mounted to the door. The latch idler is configured to lift the door as the door handle rotates from the latched position to the unlatched position.
