Not that I'm rule bound, but it might get me under the wire as not being a bonafide active movable aero device, until the rules change.
Here is a likely candidate for fan control, mounted within drivers reach.

As a thought experiment,I'd have you consider having the fans fed from high pressure NACA submerged inlets,and valve them off on everything except corners,reducing the power load of the fans as much as possible,and guaranteeing that maximum available CFM delivered passively,before you have to pay for artificial static pressure and the electricity.
Do you know how many Btus must be extracted at varying velocities,and how much air-cooling required?
