An inlet arrangement for a propulsion system includes an actuator, a linkage and an inlet assembly. The inlet assembly includes (1) a lip, (2) a cowl extending downstream from the lip, the cowl defining an external surface of the inlet assembly, (3) an inlet duct extending downstream from the lip, the inlet duct disposed radially inward of the cowl, and (4) a movable component associated with the lip, the cowl, or the inlet duct. An outer surface of the inlet duct and an inner surface of the cowl define a gap therebetween. The linkage is disposed in the gap and coupled with the moveable component. The linkage is configured to move within the gap and to move the moveable component when the linkage moves. The actuator is coupled with the linkage and moves the linkage when the actuator is actuated. The actuator is mounted remotely from the inlet assembly.
