A rotor blade fold system for an aircraft includes one or more actuators operably connected to one or more blade components of one or more rotor blades of the aircraft. One or more sensors are located at the one or more rotor blades and are configured to sense operation of the one or more blade components. A fold control system is configured to monitor output from the one or more sensors and is capable of stopping operation of the blade fold system, via communication with the one or more actuators, if the one or more blade components are not operating within predetermined limits.
