The present disclosure is directed to rotor assemblies for scissoring rotors, aircraft including the same, and associated methods. In one example, a hub assembly comprises: a first hub subassembly configured to rotate a first blade assembly about an axis of rotation in a first plane, a second hub subassembly configured to rotate a second blade assembly about the axis of rotation in a second plane, and a rotary guide configured to control an axial position of the second hub subassembly relative to the first hub subassembly about the axis of rotation. The rotary guide is configured to adjust the axial position as a function of a lifting force generated by the first blade assembly or the second blade assembly.
