An inlet duct for an engine or multiple engines includes two or more joining duct legs and a pressure relief pathway located at each duct leg to condition inlet airflow from the duct legs. A method of operating an aircraft includes urging an inlet airflow into two or more duct openings disposed at a fuselage of the aircraft. The inlet airflow is urged through two or more converging inlet duct legs extending from the two or more duct openings toward an engine inlet. A portion of the inlet airflow is flowed from at least one inlet duct leg of the two or more inlet duct legs into a pressure relief pathway. An inlet duct for an engine or multiple engines includes one or more inlet duct legs and a bypass leg extending from an inlet duct leg of the one or more inlet duct legs through a bypass opening.
