One embodiment is a rotor assembly for an aircraft, the rotor assembly comprising a plurality of rotor blades, wherein at least one of the rotor blades comprises a rotor alignment drag assembly comprising a drag structure on a surface of the at least one of the rotor blades, wherein the drag structure is moveable between a first position in which the drag structure is stowed within the at least one of the rotor blades, and a second position in which the drag structure is extended from the surface of the at least one of the rotor blades; and an actuation mechanism for moving the drag structure from the first position to the second position when a speed of the rotor assembly falls below a first threshold speed.
