An inlet assembly for an auxiliary power unit for an aircraft, including a particle separator and a plenum having first and second inlets. A first duct configured to deliver air to an engine of the auxiliary power unit is in fluid communication with an outlet of the plenum. A second duct configured to deliver air to a compartment containing the auxiliary power unit is in fluid communication with the outlet of the plenum. The assembly is selectively configurable between a first configuration where the plenum is in fluid communication with the environment of the aircraft through the second inlet and through the particle separator, and a second configuration where the plenum is in fluid communication with the environment of the aircraft through the first inlet independently of the particle separator. An auxiliary power unit assembly and a method of feeding air to an auxiliary power unit assembly are also discussed.
