It turns out the leading edge is way too blunt to have good heat transfer on
the air side. You want lots of sharp leading edges on short fins.  A radiator
will typically have as much surface area as the entire wing, and most of it
is little skinny fins with lots of leading edges and high heat transfer.
Wings fly nice, but heat does not fly off wings.
