A rotor blade having conduits for supporting control lines is disclosed. The control lines extend from a rotor hub to a tip jet mounted near a distal end of the rotor blade. The conduits mount within leading and trailing edge fairings mounted to a blade spar. The conduits may be supported by bulkheads secured at discrete locations along the blade spar and secured to the leading and trailing edge fairings. The conduits may also be secured to support webs secured to the leading or trailing edge fairing and extending longitudinally therealong. The conduit may have a tapered inner surface and a tapered fitting may secure to the control line to engage the tapered inner surface.
