A system for an aircraft includes an aircraft engine having a central axis with a flowpath projecting into the aircraft engine from an airflow inlet. An inlet plenum at the airflow inlet extends between a front wall and a rear wall along the central axis. An inlet guard is arranged at the airflow inlet and extends across the flowpath. The inlet guard includes a first screen extending circumferentially about the central axis. The first screen has a first screen axial width L1 extending from the front wall to the rear wall. The inlet guard further includes a second screen extending at least partially circumferentially about the central axis. The second screen is disposed radially outward of the first screen and axially overlaps the first screen. The second screen has a second screen axial width L2 less than the first screen axial width L1.
