An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system includes a variable area inlet with a fixed structure and a moveable structure. The variable area inlet is configured to open and close an airflow inlet passage into the aircraft propulsion system. The moveable structure is configured to move axially along a centerline between an aft position and a forward position. The moveable structure includes an inlet lip structure and a deflector. When the moveable structure is in the aft position, the airflow inlet passage is closed, and the deflector is at least partially recessed into the fixed structure. When the moveable structure is in the forward position, the airflow inlet passage is opened axially between an aft end of the inlet lip structure and a forward end of the fixed structure, and a forward end of the deflector is disposed axially at the forward end of the fixed structure.
