Abstract

An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system includes a nacelle inlet structure which extends axially along and circumferentially around a centerline. The nacelle inlet structure includes an inlet lip, an inner barrel, an outer barrel and a plurality of structure segments. The inlet lip forms a leading edge of the nacelle inlet structure. The inner barrel projects axially aft away from the inlet lip. The outer barrel projects axially aft away from the inlet lip. The outer barrel is radially outboard of and axially overlaps the inner barrel. Each of the structure segments includes an exterior skin, a mount and an electric heater configured to heat the exterior skin. The exterior skin forms a respective circumferential section of the inlet lip. The mount is connected to the exterior skin. A fastener extends radially through the mount and attaches a respective one of the structure segments to the inner barrel.
