A rotor blade configured to fold about a blade fold axis includes a first section and a second section. The first section is configured to mount to a rotor hub and includes a first connector having at least one first opening. The second section includes a second connector having at least one second opening. The second section is rotatably coupled to the first section and is configured to rotate about the blade fold axis between an aligned position and a rotated position. A linkage is operably coupled to the first section and the second section. The linkage includes a plurality of links loosely connected such that the linkage is configured to support the second section of the rotor blade only when the second section is in the rotated position.
