System and method of rotor management

An aircraft comprising:

• a first dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight, wherein:
• the first dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight comprises a direct drive motor;
• the first dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight is configured to park during cruise flight;
• and
• the first dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight comprises a first rotor;
• a second dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight, wherein:
• the second dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight comprises a direct drive motor;
• the second dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight is configured to park during cruise flight;
• and
• the second dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight comprises a second rotor;
• an energy source configured to power the first dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight and the second dedicated lift propulsor for vertical flight;
• and
• a computing device, the computing device configured to determine a drag maximization axis of at least one of the first rotor or the second rotor by:
• determining a drag minimization axis of at least one of the first rotor or the second rotor based on surrounding airflow of the aircraft during flight;
• and
• determining the drag maximization axis to be perpendicular to the drag minimization axis.
