The acoustic assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein plurality of openings is arranged on said lipskin such that said lipskin has a porosity in a range of between 15 percent to 30 percent open area. 8. The acoustic assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein said perforations in said backsheet, said channels in said acoustic core, said apertures in said linear facesheet, and said openings in said lipskin enable a flow of heated air to flow through each of said backsheet, said acoustic core, said linear facesheet, and said lipskin. 9. An engine nacelle comprising a lipskin assembly that at least partially defines a plenum, said lipskin assembly comprising: a backsheet comprising a plurality of perforations defined therethrough, said backsheet forming an inner surface of said nacelle, wherein said backsheet is exposed to said plenum;an acoustic core coupled to said backsheet, said acoustic core comprising a plurality of channels defined therethrough, wherein said plurality of channels are configured to be in flow communication with said plurality of perforations;a linear facesheet coupled to said acoustic core, said linear facesheet comprising a plurality of apertures configured to be in flow communication with said plurality of channels material, and wherein each aperture of said plurality of apertures is larger than each perforation of said plurality of perforations; anda lipskin coupled to said linear, wherein said linear facesheet is coupled in a face-to-face relationship between said lipskin and said acoustic core, said lipskin comprising a plurality of openings configured to be in flow communication with said plurality of apertures such that a flow of heated air transpires through said acoustic core, said linear facesheet, and said lipskin to prevent ice formation on an outer surface of said lipskin, said lipskin forming an outer surface of said nacelle. 10. The engine nacelle in accordance with claim 9, wherein said perforations in said backsheet are configured to channel bleed air from an interior of the plenum through the plurality of openings in the lipskin. 11. The engine nacelle in accordance with claim 9, wherein said linear facesheet comprises at least one sheet of an expanded metal fabric, a felt metal fabric, and a woven wire mesh fabric. 12. The engine nacelle in accordance with claim 9, wherein said linear facesheet comprises a plurality of sheets of expanded metal fabric that each include a plurality of passages defined therethrough, wherein said plurality of sheets are oriented such that said plurality of passages form a plurality of tortuous paths defined between said acoustic core and said lipskin. 13. The engine nacelle in accordance with claim 9, wherein said lipskin, said linear facesheet, said acoustic core, and said backsheet are sequentially layered to form said lipskin assembly. 14. The engine nacelle in accordance with claim 9, wherein plurality of openings is arranged on said lipskin such that said lipskin has a porosity in a range of between 15 percent to 30 percent open area. 15. A method of assembling a transpiring lipskin assembly, said method comprising: coupling an acoustic core to a backsheet such that the backsheet is positioned in a face-to-face relationship between the core and a plenum defined by the lipskin assembly, the backsheet having a plurality of perforations defined therethrough, the acoustic core having a plurality of channels that are configured to be in flow communication with the plurality of perforations;coupling a linear facesheet to the acoustic core, the linear facesheet having a plurality of apertures configured to be in flow communication with the plurality of channels material, wherein each aperture of said plurality of apertures is larger than each perforation of said plurality of perforations; andcoupling a lipskin to the linear facesheet such that the linear facesheet is coupled in a face-to-face relationship between the lipskin and the acoustic core, the lipskin having a plurality of openings configured to be in flow communication with the plurality of apertures such that a flow of heated air transpires through the acoustic core, the linear facesheet, and the lipskin to prevent ice formation on an outer surface of the lipskin. 16.
