Abstract
An assembly is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft assembly includes an airframe structure, a propulsion system and a vane. The airframe structure includes a fuselage and at least two wings. The fuselage extends longitudinally along a longitudinal centerline from a forward end of the fuselage to an aft end of the fuselage. The wings extend laterally from opposing sides of the fuselage. The propulsion system is mounted to the airframe structure. The propulsion system includes an airflow inlet into the propulsion system. The airflow inlet is spaced vertically out from a top side of the airframe structure. The vane projects vertically out from the top side of the airframe structure to a distal end of the vane. The vane laterally overlaps and is longitudinally forward of the airflow inlet.
