An aircraft configured for vertical takeoff and landing, the aircraft comprising:

• a fuselage;
• a wing coupled to the fuselage;
• at least one support structure coupled to the wing;
• and
• at least one tilting propeller assembly coupled to a first end of a support structure and configured to transition between a vertical lift position and a forward flight position, wherein:
• the at least one tilting propeller assembly comprises a propeller and a movable fairing provided downstream of the propeller,
• the movable fairing includes an opening extending parallel to the support structure in the forward flight position and configured to receive at least a portion of the support structure therein, and
• the movable fairing is configured to swivel to extend parallel to a direction of resultant airflow over the at least one tilting propeller assembly when the at least one tilting propeller assembly transitions between the vertical lift position and the forward flight position.
