This disclosure relates to various multi-rotor aircrafts including at least one passively tiltable rotor group which may be tilted, typically in a direction of their movement. More importantly, the passively tiltable rotor group can tilt on its own, without having to include any additional electric motor or other power generating devices. This disclosure relates to various multi-rotor aircrafts including various load sharing units capable of taking up at least a portion of a weight load of the aircraft to itself, thereby diverting that portion of the weight load from a tilting unit. Therefore, the tilting units may be tilted more easily under the reduced weight load and friction. This disclosure further relates to various methods of fabricating or operating such passively tiltable rotor groups, tilting units, or load sharing units, and various methods of incorporating such into the multi-rotor aircraft.
