Default Fuselage Vents

So assuming this is worthwhile ... what about putting extractors on
the back of the gear doors ... the door area is probably already
messing up the laminar flow ... and there are no structural issues ...
and yes, you would have to then allow fuse air to pass into the gear
well - I think most of the newer ships have this sealed up - and the
doors would have to be sealed, so you don't just pull air through the
door gaps ...

The performance claims look extremely good ... is this plausible ?

Ventus mods have used a funnel behind the wheel well for years,
typically a 2" piece or pipe would form the exit.

Improvement here is the shape of the exit.
