Abstract
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes an open propulsor rotor and a nose cone. The open propulsor rotor is configured to rotate about an axis. The nose cone is upstream of and is configured to rotate with the open propulsor rotor. The nose cone extends axially along the axis from a forward tip end of the nose cone to an aft base end of the nose cone that is adjacent the open propulsor rotor. The nose cone includes an air scoop arranged at an intermediate location between the forward tip end of the nose cone and the aft base end of the nose cone. The air scoop is configured to direct air from an environment external to the aircraft propulsion system into an interior of the nose cone.
