Methods and apparatus to vary an air intake of aircraft engines are disclosed. An example nacelle assembly includes a fan cowl and an inlet cowl movably coupled to the fan cowl. The inlet cowl defines a primary flow path and an auxiliary flow path of an intake of the aircraft engine. The inlet cowl moves relative to the fan cowl between an open position to allow airflow via an auxiliary flow path and a closed position to prevent airflow through the auxiliary flow path.
