Compound rotorcraft with propeller

A method for operating a compound rotorcraft comprising:

• mounting a first outboard propeller to a distal end of a first wing half at a first incidence angle relative to a centerline of a fuselage;
• mounting a second outboard propeller to a distal end of a second wing half at a second incidence angle relative to the center line of the fuselage;
• mounting a first inboard propeller to the first wing half between the first outboard propeller and the fuselage;
• mounting a second inboard propeller to the second wing half between the second outboard propeller in the fuselage;
• applying positive or negative thrust to the first outboard propeller and the second outboard propeller, wherein applying positive thrust to the first outboard propeller and the second outboard propeller results in a slight upward vertical component of thrust;
• and
• applying positive or negative thrust to the first inboard propeller and the second inboard propeller, where applying positive thrust to the first inboard propeller and the second inboard propeller results in a slight downward vertical component of thrust.
