A rotor system includes a drive hub, a set of rotor blades extending radially from the drive hub, and a set of tension-torsion straps connecting the rotor blades to the drive hub. The drive hub has a rotor mast opening extending along a mast axis. The rotor system is configured to rotate about the mast axis. The drive hub further has a set of mounting slots for mounting the tension-torsion straps. The mounting slots are arranged along a circle around the drive hub, each mounting slot extending through the drive hub along a respective mounting axis. The mounting axis of each of the mounting slots is biased relative to the mast axis. The tension-torsion straps are mounted to the drive hub at their corresponding mounting slots.
