The aircraft additionally includes a fuselage, with the propulsor attached to the fuselage at an aft end of the fuselage. A stabilizer extends away from the fuselage proximate the aft end, the stabilizer including a portion positioned upstream of the plurality of fan blades. The aircraft additionally includes an airflow duct extending between an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is positioned to receive an airflow from a location outside the fuselage of the aircraft. The outlet is positioned to exhaust the airflow to at least partially offset a wake upstream of the plurality of fan blades, the wake generated by the stabilizer during operation of the aircraft.
