A tiltwing aircraft includes a fuselage, an engine mounted stationary relative to the fuselage, and an opposed pair of wings. The wings are separated from each other with the fuselage therebetween, each wing independently mounted to the fuselage by a respective pivot system for rotation relative to the fuselage. An opposed pair of rotor assemblies is included, each operatively connected to a respective one of the wings for common rotation with the respective wing back and forth between a first position predominantly for lift to a second position predominantly for thrust.
