A nacelle is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. The nacelle may include an outer barrel and an active laminar flow control system. The active laminar flow control system may include a plurality of suction sources and a plurality of arrays of perforations in the outer barrel. The active laminar flow control system may be configured with a plurality of zones. Each of the zones may include a respective one of the suction sources which is fluidly coupled with a respective one of the arrays of perforations in the outer barrel.
