A method for facilitating the design and manufacturing of a tiltrotor aircraft (100), including the steps of: determining (210) a compatible mission data set; identifying (230) lift propulsion module components for the compatible mission data set; determining (250) compatible specifications; and generating (260) a design for a lift propulsion module (110); wherein the lift propulsion module (110) is configured to be connected to at least two different fuselages (301a-301e). There is also a method of designing a tiltrotor aircraft, comprising the step of modularizing a lift propulsion system, wherein the lift propulsion system is configured to be connected to at least two different fuselages (301a-301e). In another aspect, there is a tiltrotor aircraft including a fuselage; and a lift propulsion module (410), the lift propulsion module (410) including a mounting surface (446); wherein the lift propulsion module (410) is coupled to the fuselage on the mounting surface (446). Also included are methods of assembling and systems including a lift propulsion module.
