An aircraft can include a fuselage, a plurality of booms extending from the fuselage, and a plurality of rotors coupled to the fuselage via the plurality of booms. The plurality of rotors can comprise at least a pair of rotors arranged on each of the first side and the second side of the fuselage. Each pair of rotors can include a fore rotor and an aft rotor, and each rotor can be configured to tilt its corresponding axis of rotation. The fore rotor can be spaced from the fuselage by a fore distance and the aft rotor can be spaced from the fuselage by an aft distance different than the fore distance, where the fore and aft distances can be selected such that the circular rotor paths of the fore and aft rotors partially overlap along the spanwise direction.
