I don't think this is the case; Hucho is quite clear that this is a two-dimensional section. I believe the dotted lines are meant to represent possible duct paths between intakes and outlets for cooling and cabin ventilation air. The paragraph after the one you posted explains:

Quote:
From the pressure distribution shown in Fig. 2.4, suitable positions for the air intake and outlet for the cooling and ventilation system can be selected. The intake should be placed in regions of high pressure, e.g. in the nose region or in the scuttle, whereas the outlet may be placed in a region of suction.
