Rotorcraft including a fuselage and at least three rotor system arms each having a rotor system. Each rotor system includes a mast having at least two rotor blades and an electric rotor motor. At least one rotor system arm includes a support mechanism for pivotally supporting a floating mast about at least one pivot axis whereby the floating mast is tillable relative to a fiducial tilt position. The floating mast has a controllable cyclic rotor blade pitch. A mast tilt measurement mechanism provides a mast tilt feedback signal regarding a measured tilt position of a floating mast relative to its fiducial tilt position. A flight control system continuously controls the at least three electric rotor motors and the floating masts cyclic rotor blade pitch in response to a desired input maneuver and its mast tilt feedback signal.
