A blade pitch control system includes a plurality of serially stacked swashplate assemblies, each having concentric, ring-shaped inner and outer sections, an associated output pitch link coupled to its outer section and an associated input pitch link coupled to its inner section. The inner and outer sections of each swashplate assembly includes pass through holes to accommodate input pitch links and output pitch links of adjacent ones of the stacked swashplate assemblies. The system also includes a plurality of actuators, each coupled to a respective input pitch link of a respective one of the stacked swashplate assemblies. A central static mast accommodates a rotor drive shaft and the stacked swashplate assemblies are configured to slide axially, parallel to a long axis of the static mast.
