Apparatus and methods for reducing foreign object debris ingestion into
aircraft engines. The apparatus includes a door disposed at a forward end
portion of a housing portion of the engine. The door is movable with
respect to the engine between a first position in which a first engine
inlet is open and a second engine inlet is substantially blocked by the
door, and a second position in which the second engine inlet is open and
the first engine inlet is substantially blocked by the door. Accordingly,
moving the door to its first position during taxiing, takeoff, and
landing substantially reduces the risk of foreign object debris ingestion
into the second engine inlet.
