A propulsion unit includes a motor rotor, propeller blades, and a pivot stop. The motor rotor spins about a central rotational axis. The propeller blades, including first and second propeller blades, each having a proximal base mounted to the motor rotor such that the propeller blades are rotatable about the central rotational axis. The second propeller blade is pivotally attached to the motor rotor to pivot about the central rotational axis independent of the motor rotor by a limited angle. The pivot stop mechanically limits an amount of pivoting of the second propeller blade relative to the first propeller blade.
