The disclosed turbine engine includes a fan nacelle surrounding a fan and including an inlet arranged upstream from the fan. The inlet includes an inlet surface having a boundary layer flow. A flow control actuator is in fluid communication with the inlet surface. A boundary layer sensing device is associated with the inlet surface for detecting a boundary layer condition at the inlet surface. A controller is in communication with the flow control actuator and the boundary layer sensing device. The controller is programmed to command the flow control actuator in response to the boundary layer sensing device detecting an undesired boundary layer condition. In this manner, the flow control actuator generates a desired boundary layer condition.
