A rotor hub fairing system for use in a counter-rotating, coaxial rotor system is provided including an upper hub fairing defined about an axis and a lower hub fairing defined about the axis. A shaft fairing is disposed between the upper hub fairing and the lower hub fairing. The geometry of the shaft fairing is configured to encourage a wake adjacent the upper hub fairing to form collectively with a wake adjacent the lower hub fairing.
