A system for an aircraft includes a tiltable proprotor that is tiltable between a lift position for providing lift for the aircraft and a forward flight position for providing forward propulsion for the aircraft is provided. The system includes at least one actuator for adjusting a tilt angle of the tiltable proprotor; and at least one passive damper connected to the tiltable proprotor and configured to limit a rate of change of the tilt angle of the tiltable proprotor.
