One example of a rotor assembly comprises: a rotor hub operable to rotate based on rotation of a mast; a first rotor blade pivotally attached to the rotor hub; a bracing member pivotally attached to the rotor hub at a first end and pivotally attached to the first rotor blade at a second end; and a linkage mechanism coupling the first rotor blade to a second rotor blade. The bracing member is operable to transfer a coning movement of the first rotor blade to a movement of the linkage mechanism and a corresponding coning movement of the second rotor blade.
