摘要

A nacelle assembly (26) includes an inlet section (38) having a plurality of discrete sections (40). Each of the plurality of discrete sections (40) includes an adaptive structure. A thickness of each of the plurality of discrete sections (40) is selectively adjustable between a first position and a second position to influence the adaptive structure of each of the plurality of discrete sections (40).
