Systems and methods for transitioning between rotor positions based on detected parameters of an aircraft. One embodiment provides an aircraft comprising a rotor assembly and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor an operating characteristic of the aircraft. The controller is configured to select, in response to a rotor neutral state of the aircraft being enabled, one of a plurality of rotor neutral positions based on the operating characteristic, the plurality of rotor neutral positions including a first rotor neutral position configured for vertical takeoff of the aircraft and a second rotor neutral position configured for start-up and shutdown of the aircraft. The controller is configured to set the selected one of the plurality of rotor neutral positions as the rotor neutral position for the aircraft.
