Abstract: A system for reducing rotor acoustics of an aircraft. The system includes a structural feature of an aircraft and a propulsor configured for fixed-wing flight mounted on the structural feature. The system further includes a plurality of rotors mounted on the structural feature. The plurality of rotors are configured to include a first rotor, a first motor mechanically coupled to the first rotor, a second rotor, and a second motor mechanically coupled to the second rotor. The system further includes an aircraft controller communicating with the first motor, second motor, and the propulsor. The system includes an alignment module configured to place the second rotor in alignment with the first rotor. The system further includes a rotational control module configured to initiate rotation of the plurality of rotors. Initiating rotation of the plurality of rotors further includes initiating rotation of the first rotor and the second rotor.
