A coaxial, dual rotor system includes a first rotor assembly located at a rotor axis and rotatable thereabout and a second rotor assembly located at the rotor axis radially inboard of the first rotor assembly and rotatable thereabout. A rotationally fixed static mast is located radially between the first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly. A transmission includes a rotor input shaft including a first sun gear and a second sun gear. A star gear arrangement is operably connected to the first sun gear and to the static mast to drive rotation of the first rotor assembly about the rotor axis and a planetary gear arrangement is operably connected to the second sun gear and to the static mast to drive rotation of the second rotor assembly about the rotor axis.
