A tilt apparatus of an aircraft, comprising: a first frame, a second frame moveably coupled to the first frame, a propulsion system coupled to the second frame and configured to move with the second frame, the propulsion system comprising: a propeller, a motor configured to rotate the propeller, and a propulsion inverter configured to supply current to the motor. The tilt apparatus further comprises a tilt actuation system coupled to the second frame and configured to tilt with the second frame with respect to the first frame, the tilt actuation system comprising: a tilt actuator; a tilt actuator inverter configured to supply current to the tilt actuator, and a tilt actuator gearbox coupled to the second frame and configured to tilt with the second frame. The tilt actuator is configured to the tilt the second frame with respect to the first frame via the tilt actuator gearbox.
