A force assisting system ( 16 ) suitable for use in a luggage compartment ( 10 ) with a lowerable shell ( 14 ) in a passenger aircraft comprises a load determination device for determining a load acting on the lowerable shell ( 14 ) of the luggage compartment ( 10 ). The force assisting system ( 16 ) also comprises a force assisting device ( 24 ) which is adapted to be inactive in a first operating state and active in a second operating state and in its second active operating state to provide a constant assisting force which opposes the load acting on the lowerable shell ( 14 ) of the luggage compartment ( 10 ). Finally, the force assisting system ( 16 ) comprises an actuating device ( 32 ) which is adapted to move the force assisting device ( 24 ) out of its first inactive operating state into its second active operating state if the load which is determined by the load determination device and acts on the lowerable shell of the luggage compartment exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
