A stowage compartment system for a mobile platform (for example, a commercial aircraft) is provided. The stowage compartment system includes a support structure supported from a structural subassembly and at least one compartment rotatably coupled to the support structure. The compartment is rotatable into an opened position and a closed position. The compartment includes a rear wall. A powered actuator is coupled to the rear wall of the compartment and is used to rotate the compartment between its opened and closed positions. The system, thus, removes the need for an individual to manually lift the compartment into a closed position after the compartment has been loaded with or emptied of luggage.
