A tiltrotor aircraft is provided having a fuselage and a wing. The tiltrotor aircraft includes a node with a tilt mechanism mechanically coupled to one of the fuselage or the wing, a pylon mechanically coupled to the tilt mechanism at a first end and to a motor at a second end, and a rotor mechanically coupled to the motor, wherein the node provides thrust force balance above and below the wing. The tilt mechanism is actuated to enable vertical and horizontal flight. Furthermore, the node is force and torque balanced about an axis of rotation of the fuselage.
