A turbofan engine is disclosed which includes a nacelle assembly, having an interior surface for directing airflow, and a flow disruptor positioned on the interior surface upstream of the fan, the flow disruptor extending towards the axis a height greater than the anticipated boundary layer height of the airflow. A turbofan engine which includes an array of circumferentially disposed flow disruptors extending from a fan case inner surface is also disclosed. A method of mitigating fan flutter in a gas turbine engine by generating a circumferential asymmetrically in the airflow, upstream of the fan, is also described.
