An aircraft system includes a propulsion system. The propulsion system includes a turbofan engine, a nacelle and a bypass flowpath. The turbofan engine includes a fan rotor and an engine core configured to drive rotation of the fan rotor about an axis. The nacelle houses the turbofan engine and includes an outer structure. The outer structure extends axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge. The leading edge is disposed at an airflow inlet into the propulsion system. The trailing edge is disposed at an airflow exhaust from the bypass flowpath. An axial distance from the fan rotor to the trailing edge decreases as the trailing edge extends at least one-hundred and twenty degrees circumferentially about the axis. The bypass flowpath is disposed downstream of the fan rotor and radially outboard of the engine core. The bypass flowpath extends axially within the propulsion system to the airflow exhaust.
