A rotorcraft includes a proprotor coupled to the wing and a pusher propeller. Power is transferred from the proprotor to the pusher propeller with the use of a torque splitter. The torque splitter contains several gears, including a ring gear which rotates on an axis. The power outputted by the torque splitter is increased or decreased by selectively slowing down the rotation of the ring gear by the use of a clamp.
