An arrangement for reducing drag on the body of an aircraft with a relatively wide fuselage comprises a gas turbine engine. At least one duct is selectively moveable between a closed position and an open position, such that the at least one duct allows airflow to move toward a fan rotor in the gas turbine engine in the open position, but blocks airflow when in the closed position. An aircraft body is also disclosed.
