A tandem tiltrotor aircraft in which the tiltrotor assemblies are operably coupled at the forward and aft ends of the fuselage of the aircraft is disclosed. The tiltrotor assemblies are capable of rotating between a vertical lift position and a horizontal flight position. The in-line location of the tiltrotor assemblies allow the aircraft to have the vertical take-off and landing capabilities, and, in combination with the at least one wing, can be used in horizontal flight. The nacelles can be disposed on the fuselage they are coaxial in forward flight and do not add to the drag profile like wing-tip nacelles would. When wing-borne flight is desired some or all of the rotors can rotate down so the thrust vector is in a generally horizontal plane.
