Segmented nacelle inlet lip with electric anti-icing system

An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system, comprising:

• a nacelle inlet structure extending axially along and circumferentially around a centerline, the nacelle inlet structure including an inlet lip, an inner barrel, an outer barrel, a first bulkhead and a plurality of structure segments;
• the inlet lip including an inner lip portion and an outer lip portion that intersects the inner lip portion at a leading edge of the nacelle inlet structure;
• the inner barrel projecting axially aft away from the inner lip portion;
• the outer barrel projecting axially aft away from the outer lip portion;
• each of the plurality of structure segments including an exterior skin and an electric heater configured to heat the exterior skin;
• and
• the exterior skin forming a respective circumferential section of the inner lip portion that is mechanically attached to the inner barrel, and the exterior skin forming a respective circumferential section of the outer lip portion that is bonded to the first bulkhead.
