Bruce Ruefer ... has an inflatable boat tail he was developing,which just used scoops to harvest ram-air for inflation and tensioning.
That was why I showed those little half-moon scoops on the model. It's silly when there's 1500 cubic feet/minute of engine cooling air blowing past.

It's funny that the sketch (intended as a camper pop-out) is so similar, from 30 years ago.
