An aircraft motor includes a bearing assembly including a first plurality of rotor alignment magnets; a magnet support structure fixedly mounted on a shaft of the motor in a spaced apart relation to the bearing assembly, the magnet support structure including a second plurality of rotor alignment magnets such that when the vertical thrust engine is disengaged, attraction between the first and second rotor alignment magnets causes the magnet support structure to rotate relative to the bearing assembly to an alignment position defined by the relative placement of north and south poles of the first and second plurality of rotor alignment magnets.
