A folding propeller-hub assembly for VTOL aircraft provides two modes of operation, a vertical mode with unfolded propeller blades and a horizontal mode with propeller blades positionable in both an aerodynamic folded position and an active unfolded position. The propeller-hub assembly includes a plurality of propeller blades, a bedplate operably associated with a propeller-hub to fold or respectively unfold the propeller blades, the motor arranged between the propeller-hub and a rotating plate, a push rod positioned in the axis of the propeller rotation along the propeller-hub assembly. The bedplate is operably associated with a device which connects with the spinner bottom of the spinner to rotate the propeller blades. A restraint plate by virtue of the push rod is operably associated with the propeller blades to rotate each propeller blade about a propeller blade pin axis.
