The present invention relates to a rotating hinge joint (10) for pivotably connecting one or more propulsion units and an airframe of a VTOL aircraft via an electric actuator, comprising a bracket assembly (12) for attachment to the airframe of the aircraft; an electric actuator (14) which comprises an output shaft (16) and a housing (18) which transfers torque to the bracket assembly (12); wherein the bracket assembly (12) is attached to the output shaft (16) in a rotatably fixed manner by means of an arm (12a); a double shear clevis assembly (22) with two arms (22a, 22b) for attachment to the propulsion unit structure (24), wherein the first arm (22a) of the clevis assembly (22) is attached to the housing of the electric actuator (18) in a rotatably fixed manner; wherein the attachment of the bracket assembly (12) to the output shaft (16) is located between the two arms (22a, 22b) of the clevis assembly (22) with respect to the axial direction (Y) of the output shaft (16) of the electric actuator (14). The invention furthermore relates to an attachment assembly comprising such a hinge joint (10) and a pivot assembly, as well as to a VTOL aircraft, comprising such hinge joints and/or attachment assemblies.
