An aircraft may include a body structure and a propulsion system coupled to the body structure and including a mounting shaft and a rotor. The rotor may include a rotor hub and a set of rotor blades, wherein the rotor is configured to orient the set of rotor blades at a first collective blade angle during a first flight mode and orient the set of rotor blades at a second collective blade angle during a second flight mode. The propulsion system may further include a motor coupled to the rotor and configured to rotate the rotor in a first rotational direction in the first flight mode to produce thrust in a first thrust direction and rotate the rotor in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction in the second flight mode to produce thrust in a second thrust direction opposite the first thrust direction.
