Abstract

An aircraft propulsion system (24) is mounted to an aircraft airframe (22). An open propulsor rotor (66) of the propulsion system (24A) is configured to rotate about a rotational axis (54) in a rotational direction within a plane of rotation. The propulsor rotor (66) includes a propulsor blade (74) with a blade tip (80) and a blade span (152). The propulsor blade (74) is configured to rotate about the rotational axis (54) through a blade reference position (148A, 148B) in a reference direction towards a reference point (146A, 146B) on a fuselage (34). The propulsor blade (74) is oriented vertically at the blade reference position (148A, 148B). The blade tip (80) is vertically offset from the reference point (146A, 146B) by an offset distance (150A, 150B) when the propulsor blade (74) is at the blade reference position (148A, 148B). The offset distance (150A, 150B) is equal to or less than fifty percent of the blade span (152). The reference point (146A, 146B) is coincident with the plane of rotation at a vertical periphery of the fuselage (34).
