A gas turbine engine system for an aircraft includes a nacelle having a fan cowl with an inlet lip section and a core cowl, at least one compressor and at least one turbine, at least one combustor between the compressor and the turbine, a bleed passage, and a controller. The bleed passage includes an inlet for receiving a bleed airflow and an outlet that discharges the bleed airflow in an upstream direction from the outlet. The controller identifies an operability condition and selectively introduces the bleed airflow near a boundary layer of the inlet lip section in response to the operability condition.

The system as recited in claim 1, comprising a valve positioned within said bleed passage, wherein said valve is actuated by said controller in response to said operability condition to introduce said bleed airflow. 3. The system as recited in claim 2, wherein said valve includes at least one flap assembly pivotally attached to said outlet and actuable to introduce said bleed airflow. 4. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said operability condition includes at least one of a take-off condition, a climb condition, a cross-wind condition and a windmilling condition. 5. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said bleed passage receives said bleed airflow from said at least one compressor. 6. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said bleed airflow is selectively communicated to said bleed passage from a location separate from a high pressure compressor stage of said at least one compressor. 7. The system as recited in claim 3, comprising an actuator that selectively pivots said at least one flap assembly. 8. A gas turbine engine system for an aircraft, comprising: a nacelle defined about an axis, wherein said nacelle includes a fan cowl having an inlet lip section and a core cowl disposed at least partially within said fan cowl;at least one compressor and at least one turbine positioned downstream of said at least one compressor;at least one combustor positioned between said at least one compressor and said at least one turbine;a bleed passage having an inlet that receives a bleed airflow and an outlet that discharges said bleed airflow in an upstream direction from said outlet and near a boundary layer of said inlet lip section;a controller that identifies an operability condition of the aircraft, wherein said controller selectively introduces said bleed airflow near said boundary layer of said inlet lip section of said nacelle in response to said operability condition; anda valve positioned within said bleed passage, wherein said valve is actuated by said controller in response to said operability condition to introduce said bleed airflow, wherein said valve includes at least one flap assembly pivotally attached to said outlet and actuable to introduce said bleed airflow.
