An electric tandem rotorcraft is disclosed. The tandem rotorcraft can include a forward and an aft electric rotor assembly operably coupled to a fuselage of the rotor craft. The aft rotor assembly can be coupled to the fuselage via a tail structure. The rotorcraft can include a wing assembly that can be operably rotatable between a vertical lift configuration and a horizontal flight configuration. The wing assembly can be disposed between and/or below planes of rotation of the forward and aft rotor assemblies. The forward and aft rotor assemblies can have planes of rotation that overlap one another and may or may not intermesh. The forward and aft rotor assemblies can also be distanced such that their respective planes of rotation do not overlap.
