Doug;
I think a simple outlet that is located in a low pressure area of the body
would be sufficient to guarantee a flow of fresh air. I wonder, though, if
it would be a good idea to be able to shut off the air inlet just in case
there is a type of cockpit fire that the airflow could make worse by fanning
the flames back across the driver?

I think we discussed this with Mayf a while back. His thoughts were like
yours. The NACA duct is great for getting the air in, but of no benefit in
getting the air out.
