An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a variable area inlet. The variable area inlet includes a moveable structure configured to move axially along an axial centerline between a first position and a second position. The variable area inlet is configured to open an airflow inlet passage into the aircraft propulsion system when the movable structure is in the first position. The variable area inlet is configured to close the airflow inlet passage when the movable structure is in the second position. The airflow inlet passage includes an inlet. The inlet extends axially along the axial centerline from a first end to a second end. A distance from the first end to the second end changes as the inlet extends laterally between a first side and a second side.
