The present disclosure is directed to an aerodynamic inlet guide vane assembly for reducing airflow swirl distortion entering an aft fan mounted to a fuselage of an aircraft. Further, the inlet guide vane assembly is configured for mounting to fan shaft and a nacelle of the aft fan. The inlet guide vane assembly includes a plurality of inlet guide vanes grouped into a plurality of inlet guide vane groups. Each of the inlet guide vanes has a shape and an orientation corresponding to airflow conditions entering the fan. Further, the inlet guide vane groups are spaced circumferentially around the central axis as a function of the airflow conditions entering the fan.
