A propulsor includes a propulsor body and a prop assembly in rotational communication with the propulsor body. The prop assembly includes a plurality of prop blades configured for rotation about an axial centerline of the propulsor. The plurality of prop blades are rotatable between a deployed position and a stowed position. The propulsor further includes at least one linkage having a first linkage end and a second linkage end. The first linkage end of the at least one linkage is rotatably mounted to the propulsor body and the second linkage end is configured to be rotatably mounted to an aircraft body. The propulsor further includes a first motor coupled to the at least one linkage and configured to rotate the at least one linkage relative to the propulsor body between a first rotational position and a second rotational position.
