The wing won't get any clean air. It'd effectively make the wing not exist aerodynamically, and create lift in the process. Double fail.

I love the look of the louvers, but aerodynamically they are a huge fail.
I’m 95% sure that TRD stated that the louvers were a functional aerodynamic piece and shaped with airflow in mind.
