A system for opening a door of an aircraft includes a connection assembly adapted to connect the door to a fuselage section of the aircraft. The connection assembly includes a main hinge pivotally connected to the fuselage section and a link assembly connecting the door to the main hinge and pivotally connected to the fuselage section, the link assembly including one member slidingly and pivotally connected to the door. The system also includes a latch mechanism between the door and the main hinge, the latch mechanism being adapted to be actuated. The system is adapted to move the door upwardly and inwardly along a predetermined path without moving the main hinge through movement of the latch mechanism and, subsequently, to pivot the door around a virtual pivot point located outside of the aircraft by moving the main hinge once the door has reached an end of the predetermined path.
