Zusammenfassung:	An assembly is provided for an aircraft. This assembly includes a variable area inlet for an aircraft propulsion system. The variable area inlet includes an inlet structure, an inlet door, an inner inlet passage and an outer inlet passage. The inlet door is configured to move outward from a closed position to an open position. The inlet door is configured to close the outer inlet passage when the inlet door is in the closed position. The inlet door is configured to open the outer inlet passage when the inlet door is in the open position. The inner inlet passage extends into the variable area inlet from a leading edge of the inlet structure. The outer inlet passage extends into the inlet structure to the inner inlet passage.
