A tiltrotor rotor tilting system for an aircraft includes a fixed wing, an engine nacelle rotatably connected to the fixed wing, and a propellor connected to the engine nacelle. The propellor is configured to generate airflow. The engine nacelle includes a first engine nacelle flap pivotably connected to the engine nacelle and a first moveable joint. The first movable joint is configured to pivot the first engine nacelle flap from a stowed flap position to a deployed flap position. The engine nacelle is configured to tilt from a first nacelle position to a second nacelle position relative to the fixed wing in response to the airflow contacting the first engine nacelle flap while in the deployed flap position.
