A tilt propeller for a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft includes a tilt actuation assembly for moving a tilt propeller between a lift configuration and a cruise configuration. The tilt actuation assembly may comprise multiple rotary actuators coupled to multiple torque paths in a tilt actuation gearbox. The rotary actuators may be coupled to each other by an idler gear in the tilt actuation gearbox to keep loads evenly distributed and provide redundancies in the event of a failure. The tilt actuation assembly may provide a compact packaging in which the be shared between a tilt actuator, propeller motor and propeller inverter may easily share power, control structures and sensor information.
