A rotor system including a rotor hub, and a plurality of rotor blades. Each of the plurality of rotor blades includes a hub end. A plurality of rotor blade actuators is operatively connected to the hub end of a corresponding one of the plurality of rotor blades. A fairing is mounted to the rotor hub. The fairing includes an external surface and an internal surface defining an interior portion. The hub end and rotor blade actuator of each of the plurality of rotor blades is arranged in the interior portion. A cooling system is arranged in the interior portion. The cooling system includes a first heat exchanger thermally connected to each of the plurality of rotor blade actuators, a second heat exchanger mounted to the fairing, and at least one fluid conduit extending therebetween.
