A propulsion system assembly includes a variable area inlet and an inlet duct. The variable area inlet includes an outer airflow inlet passage, an inner airflow inlet passage, an inlet structure and a center body structure. The outer airflow inlet passage is between the inlet structure and the center body structure. The inner airflow inlet passage is formed within the center body structure. The center body structure includes a valve configured to regulate air flow through the inner airflow inlet passage. The valve includes a first door configured to pivot between a closed position and an open position. The inlet duct is configured to receive air from the outer airflow inlet passage when the first door is in the closed position. The inlet duct is configured to receive air from the outer airflow inlet passage and the inner airflow inlet passage when the first door is in the open position.
