Abstract
An aircraft door hinge assembly, comprising a door with an outer skin and a frame provided with at least one lug; a fuselage frame provided with at least one clevis configured to be pivotally attached to the lug with a hinge pin so that the door is pivotable relative to the fuselage door frame about a hinge line; a rotatable filler pivotally mounted, at a proximal end, within a gap provided by the clevis; and, a fixed filler having a proximal end fixedly attached to an outermost surface of the lug adjacent to the hinge line, and having a distal end configured to overlap the distal end of the rotatable filler, such that the fixed filler limits rotation of the rotatable filler.
