Embodiments provide an aircraft with one or more tilting fan assemblies that are configured to tilt between a forward flight position and a vertical lift position. The aircraft may also include a plurality of lift fan assemblies for vertical movement. The tilting fan assemblies may be coupled to the fuselage or wings of the aircraft via one or more tilting mechanisms. A control system coupled to the aircraft may control the one or more tilting mechanisms to move the tilting fan assemblies between the forward flight position and the vertical lift position. The tilting fan assemblies may be coupled to one or more support structures that are coupled the fuselage or wings of the aircraft.
