Abstract
An aircraft propulsion system includes an air intake and an air intake control system. The air intake includes an intake body forming an air passage. The air intake control system includes a flow control member disposed within the air intake, a blockage sensor having a sensing area directed to the flow control member, and a controller. The blockage sensor is configured to produce a signal indicative of an accumulation of foreign matter on the flow control member. The controller is configured to identify a presence or an absence of an obstruction condition of the flow control member and remove the foreign matter from the flow control member, in response to identifying the presence of the obstruction condition, by changing a state of the flow control member.
