  "textContent": "Air inlet for a gas turbine engine with an active system (10) for the suppression of a ground vortex generated by the engine of an aircraft avoiding the vortex ingestion into the engine, the system includes an actuator assembly (14) in fluid communication with a fluid source; and, at least one nozzle assembly (16), including at least one movable nozzle (24). The movable nozzle (24) is in fluid communication with the actuator assembly (14) for receiving fluid from the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly (14) controls the motion of the movable nozzle (24), wherein fluid is injected over a desired region relative to an inlet of the engine to disrupt the flow structure of a ground vortex, thus mitigating ground vortex ingestion. This ensures the operational health of the engine during airplane maneuvering on the ground.",
