The present application includes a main rotor assembly for an aircraft. The rotor assembly has a main rotor mast configured for rotation about a mast axis and two yokes pivotally connected to the mast for rotation therewith about the mast axis. Each yoke is independently pivotable relative to the mast about at least one flap axis that is generally perpendicular to the mast axis. A torque splitter is rotatably attached directly to the mast and disposed between the two yokes. The torque splitter is configured to transfer rotational movement to the two yokes while also allowing limited movement of the two yokes relative to each other. Each yoke is configured for the attachment of rotor blades extending generally radially relative to the mast axis.
