Devices, systems, and methods are provided in which a wing of a tiltrotor aircraft is rotated during operational flight, for example from a position perpendicular to the aircraft's fuselage through an angle of 30° or more in the direction of flight. This effectively narrows the maximum width of the aircraft, and facilitates maneuvering through closely spaced obstacles.
