An aircraft propulsion system includes an open propulsor rotor, a turbine engine and an auxiliary flowpath. The turbine engine includes an engine flowpath, a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. The engine flowpath extends through the compressor section, the combustor section and the turbine section from an engine flowpath inlet to an engine flowpath exhaust. The auxiliary flowpath extends longitudinally along a trajectory from an auxiliary flowpath inlet to an auxiliary flowpath outlet. The auxiliary flowpath inlet is disposed along an exterior of the propulsion system that borders an environment external to the propulsion system. The auxiliary flowpath outlet is disposed along the engine flowpath. The turbine engine is axially aft of the open propulsor rotor along an axis. The trajectory extends axially forward along the axis as the auxiliary flowpath extends longitudinally from the auxiliary flowpath inlet.
