Blade pitch coupled to propulsion system tilt

A system comprising:

• a tiltable propulsion system configured to move between a first tilt angle and a second tilt angle, wherein the first tilt angle corresponds to a vertical flight configuration and the second tilt angle corresponds to a forward flight configuration, and wherein the tiltable propulsion system includes a plurality of rotor blades each configured to move between a first pitch position and a second pitch position;
• a tilting mechanism coupled to the tiltable propulsion system and configured to move the tiltable propulsion system between the first tilt angle and the second tilt angle;
• a pitching mechanism coupled to one or more of the plurality of rotor blades and configured to move one or more of the plurality of rotor blades between the first pitch position and the second pitch position;
• an actuator configured to operate the tilting mechanism and the pitching mechanism simultaneously;
• and
• a coupling between the pitching mechanism and the tilting mechanism configured such that a change in a tilt angle of the tiltable propulsion system by the tilting mechanism is associated with a corresponding change in a pitch position of one or more of the plurality of rotor blades by the pitching mechanism, where the corresponding change is characterized by a non-linear relationship between the pitch position and the tilt angle, where a rate of change of the pitch position is highest when the tiltable propulsion system is set to the second tilt angle, and where the rate of change of the pitch position continuously decreases as the tiltable propulsion system moves from the second tilt angle to the first tilt angle.
