A hood for closing an engine compartment of an automotive vehicle having at least one component in the compartment which it desired to subject to a flow of cooling air. The hood has an inner panel and an outer panel. The inner panel is shaped to form a channel. The outer panel overlies the channel to form a duct. The duct has an air inlet and an air outlet downstream from the air inlet. During forward motion of the vehicle, air will enter the air inlet and flow through the duct, exiting at the air outlet to subject the component to a flow of cooling air.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A lid for closing a compartment of an automotive vehicle having at least one component in the compartment which it is desired to subject to a flow of cooling air, said lid comprising:an inner panel,an outer panel extending over said inner panel,said panels cooperating with one another to form a duct,said duct leading rearwardly from a forward portion thereof to a point adjacent to the component,an air inlet into the forward portion of said duct extending through said inner panel, andan air outlet from said duct downstream of said air inlet extending through said inner panel at the point adjacent to the component,whereby, during forward motion of the vehicle, air entering the air inlet will flow through the duct and exit at the air outlet to subject the component to a flow of cooling air.
