A main rotor system of an aircraft is provided including a first rotor coupled to a transmission and configured to rotate about an axis in a first direction. A second rotor is similarly coupled to the transmission and is configured to rotate about the axis in a second direction. At least the first rotor includes an individual blade control system (IBCS) configured to adjust a pitch of each of a plurality of blade of the first rotor independently. A standpipe is fixedly attached to the aircraft. The standpipe is arranged such that the first rotor and the second rotor rotate relative to the standpipe. At least one slip ring is configured to transmit electrical power and/or a control signal to the at least one IBCS.
