Systems and methods for adjusting airflow distortion in a gas turbine engine using a secondary airflow passage assembly are disclosed. A gas turbine engine can include a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in series flow and defining at least in part an engine airflow path. A casing can enclose the gas turbine engine and be at least partially exposed to a bypass airflow. The gas turbine engine can further include a secondary airflow passage assembly comprising a door and a duct, the duct defining an inlet located on the casing, the duct defining an outlet in airflow communication with the engine airflow path, the duct comprising an airflow passage extending between the inlet and outlet. The door can be moveable between an open and closed position to allow a portion of the bypass airflow to flow through the airflow passage to adjust airflow distortion.
