Can someone tell me where I can find more information on the design of a
reverse NACA duct?

I don't know of a specific design for one but I am simply mounting one on the
outside of the fuselage with the small end pointing into the airstream. The
air will flow around and over the duct and should result in a negative pressure
at the opening. Another option was one done by the guy who designed the
VISION. It was a small extending bulb with holes on the back side. Again, the
negative pressure on the down wind side results in a reverse flow.
