Abstract
A door assembly for an aircraft includes a partition panel disposed laterally within a fuselage of the aircraft and a descender panel moveably secured to a lower end of the partition panel for selectively closing an aisle opening defined below the partition panel. The door assembly further includes a handle disposed on the partition panel that is operatively connected to the descender panel through a link mechanism such that rotation of the handle is translated into movement of the descender panel to move the descender panel between a retracted position and a deployed position.
