An aircraft includes a fuselage that has an exterior contour with an opening and a duct that is arranged interiorly of the exterior contour and extends from the opening. A ram air turbine is arranged within the duct. A deployable inlet scoop is mounted on the fuselage and is configured to be moveable between stowed and deployed positions. The stowed position blocks the opening into the duct and the deployed position exposes the opening and permits airflow through the duct. A method of providing electrical power includes identifying an electrical power demand condition, deploying an inlet scoop from an aircraft fuselage, and driving a ram air turbine with an airflow through the inlet scoop into the fuselage.
