    摘要: One example of a tiltrotor aircraft (100) includes a rotor system (110a, 110b), a pylon (102a, 102b) coupled to the rotor system (110a, 110b), a spindle (112) coupled to the pylon (102a, 102b), an actuator arm (114) coupled to the spindle (112), and an actuator (116). The actuator (116) can cause the actuator arm (114) to rotate, thereby causing the spindle (112) to rotate the pylon (102a, 102b) and the rotor system (110a, 110b). In an example, the actuator (116) is in front of a forward spar (122) of the wing (104) of the tiltrotor aircraft (100) and the actuator arm (114) is about one-half (0.5) of an inch (1.27 cm) to about five (5) inches (12.7 cm) from the wing (104).
