A propulsion system is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft propulsion system includes a gas turbine engine core, a first propulsor rotor and a second propulsor rotor. The gas turbine engine core includes a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section and a rotating structure. The rotating structure includes a turbine rotor within the turbine section. The first propulsor rotor is rotatably driven by the rotating structure during a first mode and a second mode. The first propulsor rotor includes a plurality of variable pitch blades. The variable pitch blades include a first blade configured to pivot between a thrust position and an idle position. The first blade is in the thrust position during the first mode. The first blade is in the idle position during the second mode. The second propulsor rotor is rotatably driven by the rotating structure during the second mode.
