An inlet assembly for an auxiliary power unit for an aircraft, including a duct configured to provide fluid communication from an environment of the aircraft to an inlet of an engine of the auxiliary power unit, and a filter received in and extending across the duct. The filter includes a first filter portion permeable to air, positioned across only part of the duct and defining a transverse edge in the duct; a second filter portion permeable to air and extending from the transverse edge to an end downstream of the transverse edge, and a collection member impermeable to water. The collection member extends between the downstream end and a duct wall. The first and second filter portions are non-parallel and the second filter portion and the collection member are non-parallel. An auxiliary power unit assembly and a method of feeding air to an internal combustion engine are also discussed.
