An inlet duct for a nacelle of a ducted fan engine includes an inlet portion at an upstream end of the inlet duct, an acoustic liner arranged downstream of the inlet portion, and a fan section arranged downstream of the acoustic liner. The inlet portion and the acoustic liner are coupled together at an inlet-acoustic liner interface extending circumferentially about the inner surface of the inlet duct, and the acoustic liner and the fan section are coupled together at a fan section hardwall-acoustic liner interface extending circumferentially about the inner surface of the inlet duct. At least one of the acoustic liner, the inlet-acoustic liner interface, and the fan section hardwall-acoustic liner interface having a structure that circumferentially alters a magnitude and a phase of an acoustic wave reflection of the inlet duct to attenuate flutter bite of a fan.
