A propeller alignment device (102) is described. The propeller alignment device (102) can include a second retainer attached to a propeller (112) and a motor (104). The propeller alignment device (102) can also include a first retainer (114) that does not rotate, but that is aligned with the second retainer (116). The first retainer (114) can include two or more magnets (120A,120B) oppositely orientated relative to each other. The second retainer (116) can also include two or more magnets (118A,118B) oppositely orientated relative to each other. As the second retainer (116) rotates relative tothe first retainer (114), the magnets may alternately align with each other. In the absence of a current applied to the motor (104), the magnets may magnetically bias the second retainer (116) into apredetermined orientation relative to the first retainer (114). The predetermined orientation can be predetermined to correspond to an alignment of the propeller (112) that is desirable (e.g., that minimizes aerodynamic drag on the propeller).
