Default Fans in Series

Fans are designed with curved blades (pitch changes from leading to trailing
edge) so that air flow across the blade is tangential. Putting a second fan
directly behind the first will put faster moving air in contact with the
leading edge, which will not be pitched correctly. It would be like trying
to push a car that is moving as fast as you can walk.

I like your analogy, and that's sorta the way I though it might work!
