Rotor assemblies for aircraft are described that include a plurality of blades that are disposed vertically on a common axis along different horizontal planes. When the rotor assemblies are free-wheeling, the blades form a vertically stacked configuration, and when the rotor assembly is driven in rotation to generate lift, the blades bloom out from the vertically stacked configuration. At least one of the blades in the rotor assembly has a blade geometry that is different with respect to other blades such that when the blades are vertically stacked and free-wheeling, the collective shape of the blades is aerodynamic in shape, based on the different blade geometry, that reduces aerodynamic drag on the rotor assembly.
