Disclosed is an electric aircraft, which includes a fuselage and at least one wing coupled to the fuselage. The electric aircraft includes a plurality of tilting fans coupled to the at least one wing, the plurality of tilting fans being configured to move between a vertical lift position and a forward flight position. The electric aircraft includes a plurality of tilting mechanisms coupled with at least one tilting fan. The electric aircraft includes a first actuator coupled to a first subset of the plurality of tilting mechanisms. The first subset of tilting mechanisms are identified among the plurality of tilting mechanisms according to a coupling scheme. The first actuator tilts a first group of tilting fans coupled to the first subset of the plurality of tilting mechanisms simultaneously.
