A tiltrotor aircraft can include a pylon rotatable about a conversion axis. A first differential planetary assembly can include a first housing; a first ring gear; a first differential planetary gear having a first output portion; and a first differential sun gear. A second differential planetary assembly can include a second housing; a second ring gear; a second differential planetary gear having a second output portion; and a second differential sun gear. The first output portion is coupled to the second housing such that the second housing rotates at a first output speed. Further, the second output portion is coupled to the shaft, the shaft being coupled to the pylon such that rotation of the shaft rotates the pylon.
