In an embodiment, an aircraft includes a fuselage and a first support boom extending from the fuselage and having a first boom thickness. The aircraft also includes a first propulsion assembly coupled to the first support boom. The first propulsion assembly includes a first rotor hub and first rotor blades extending from the first rotor hub and operable to rotate in a first rotor plane with the first rotor hub. The aircraft also includes a first separation between the first rotor plane and the first support boom of not less than approximately 1.5 times the first boom thickness.
