An inlet assembly for a nacelle includes an inlet cowl and a plenum back wall of a fluid ice protection system (FIPS). The inlet cowl extends a length from a front end of the inlet cowl to a rear end of the inlet cowl. The inlet cowl includes a lipskin that defines a leading edge of the inlet cowl at the front end, and an acoustic panel coupled to the lipskin at an interface along an inner side of the inlet cowl. A seam is defined between the acoustic panel and the lipskin. The plenum back wall is affixed to an interior surface of the lipskin to define a plenum between the interior surface and a front surface of the plenum back wall. The plenum receives an anti-ice liquid. The plenum back wall is disposed in front of the seam along the length of the inlet cowl.
