A tilt rotor system, comprising: a pylon portion that includes: an upper protrusion that is configured to be in contact with an upper surface of a wing when the tilt rotor system and the wing are coupled; and a lower protrusion that is configured to be in contact with a lower surface of the wing when the tilt rotor system and the wing are coupled; and a rotor portion that includes a rotor, wherein the rotor portion is moveably coupled to the pylon portion such that the rotor portion is able to move between: (1) a first position that is associated with a vertical flight mode of a vehicle that includes the tilt rotor system and the wing and (2) a second position that is associated with a forward flight mode of the vehicle that includes the tilt rotor system and the wing.
