In some embodiments, a rotorcraft includes an engine, a rotor hub assembly mechanically coupled to the engine and a plurality of rotor blade assemblies rotatably mounted to the rotor hub assembly. Each of the rotor blade assemblies includes a rotor blade having a leading edge and an erosion shield system extending spanwise along the leading edge of the rotor blade. The erosion shield system includes a plurality of erosion shield segments positioned adjacent to one another forming joints therebetween wherein, the joints deform responsive to strain experienced by the rotor blade, thereby isolating the erosion shield segments from at least a portion of the strain experienced by the rotor blade.
