An aircraft (1000) including a fuselage (1001), an aircraft fuselage end cargo door (110), and a fuselage end cargo door mechanism (100). The aircraft fuselage end cargo door couples to the fuselage at a major joint line (201). The fuselage end cargo door mechanism including a hinge (300) rotatably coupling an aircraft fuselage end cargo door to a fuselage, the hinge being coupled to both the aircraft fuselage end cargo door and the fuselage so that an axis of rotation (122) of the aircraft fuselage end cargo door, defined by the hinge, relative to the fuselage is located forward of a major joint line between the aircraft fuselage end cargo door and the fuselage, wherein an uppermost portion (202) of the major joint line comprises a joint line radius (202R) where a portion of the joint line radius formed by the aircraft fuselage end cargo door pivots within another portion (202RF) of the joint line radius formed by the fuselage.
