A system is provided for controlling the pitch of blades of a rotor, the system comprising an actuator for each blade, each actuator being configured for selective control of the pitch of an associated blade about a pitch axis. Sensors are configured for determining aerodynamic forces acting on the rotor, and a flight control system is configured to receive signals from the sensors and for operating the actuators in response to the signals to achieve a desired pitch-flap coupling value.
