A coaxial, dual rotor system includes a first rotor assembly positioned at a rotor axis. A first rotor quill shaft is operably connected to the first rotor assembly at the rotor axis to drive rotation of the first rotor assembly about the rotor axis. A nonrotating static mast extends along the rotor axis through the first rotor quill shaft. A second rotor assembly is positioned at the rotor axis. A second rotor quill shaft is operably connected to the second rotor assembly to drive rotation of the second rotor assembly about the rotor axis. The second rotor quill shaft is coaxial with the first rotor quill shaft and disposed inside of the static mast. A second rotor bearing is positioned between the second rotor assembly and the static mast to transfer loads from the second rotor assembly to the static mast.
