A rotor blade of a rotary wing aircraft includes a core defining a trailing edge of the rotor blade and a skin extending from the trailing edge defining an opening including the core. The skin defines an aerodynamic surface of the rotor blade. The rotor blade additionally includes at least one trim tab assembly including a trim portion extending from the core beyond the trailing edge of the rotor blade and an actuation system including at least one actuator disposed within the core. The actuation system is operable to adjust an angle of the trim portion relative to the rotor blade.
