We've been down that road before.

IMHO if you have the space to spare for a duct you are better off chopping the top and reducing frontal area. Ducts have drag too. Think surface area. Ducts actually add surface area. I'm suspicious of air curtains for that reason but they've made it into production so I guess the delta made it worthwhile.
