An improved overhead storage system for use in an aircraft includes a variable opening overhead storage bin that is configured to automatically open to an initial open position when a latch mechanism is released, to open further to a second open position when a force is applied to the bin, and to return to the initial open position when the force is removed. The variable opening overhead storage bin includes a first stop device configured to stop the bin at the initial open position, and a second stop device configured to stop the bin at the second open position. When in the initial open position, the variable opening overhead storage bin is angled to retain stowed articles within the bin. When the variable opening overhead storage bin is further opened to the second open position, the passenger's hands are in a better position to control articles stowed within the bin.
