A tiltrotor aircraft (10) has a vertical takeoff and landing flight mode and a forward flight mode. The aircraft (10) comprises a longitudinally extending fuselage and a wing (14) extending laterally from the fuselage. The wing (14) has first and second oppositely disposed wing tips (14c, 14d) distal from the fuselage. First and second tip booms (16a, 16b) respectively extend longitudinally from the first and second wing tips (14c, 14d). Forward rotors (28a, 28b) are coupled to the forward ends (18a, 18b) of the tip booms (16a, 16b) and aft rotors (28c, 28d) are coupled to the aft ends (20a, 20b) of the tip booms (16a, 16b). The forward rotors (28a, 28b) are reversibly tiltable between a vertical lift orientation, wherein the forward rotors (28a, 28b) are above the tip booms (16a, 16b), and a forward thrust orientation, wherein the forward rotors (28a, 28b) are forward of the tip booms (16a, 16b). The aft rotors (28c, 28d) are coupled to the aft ends (20a, 20b) of the first and second tip booms, and are reversibly tiltable between a vertical lift orientation, wherein the aft rotors (28c, 28d) are below the tip booms (16a, 16b), and a forward thrust orientation, wherein the aft rotors (28c, 28d) are aft of the tip booms (16a, 16b).
