A rotor blade (20) for a rotary wing aircraft includes a component bay (32) located substantially enclosed in the rotor blade (20) and one or more components (30) positioned in the component bay (32). An airflow is located at the component bay (32) and an airflow outlet (38) is located at the component bay (32) radially outboard of the airflow inlet (34). The airflow inlet (34) and airflow outlet (38) allow a continuous airflow through the component bay (32) via centrifugal forces of rotation of the rotor blade (20), the continuous airflow cooling the one or more components (30) disposed at the component bay (32).
