A rotor blade assembly for a rotary wing aircraft includes a main rotor blade body comprising an upper blade skin, a lower blade skin, an inboard end, an outboard end, and a trailing edge. The rotor blade assembly further includes a trailing edge actuator assembly. The trailing edge actuator assembly includes an upper actuator skin and a lower actuator skin defining a cavity and a trailing edge flap, a control panel disposed in the cavity and coupled to one of the upper actuator skin or the lower actuator skin and one or more actuators disposed in the cavity and configured to apply force to the control panel to cause the trailing edge flap to deflect. The trailing edge actuator assembly is coupled to the trailing edge of the main rotor blade body.
