Flush(est) Mount Ceiling Fan

[Farmall 1066]

Got an area in my shop where I do a lot of small projects / bench work type stuff. Gets terribly stuffy in the summer, and I'd like to add a ceiling fan. Ceiling is 8', and I'm 6'7", so there is a bit of a clearance issue!
Anybody know of a fan with an extra low profile?

Could you get one of the wall mount fans?

Just went through this and SCOURED the internet looking for the best option. Ended up going with the below. Total height is 11" and works great. The only other option is to go with a wall mounted fan.

What's up above? Can you put in a whole house fan and then some massive ducting around it to allow air to flow back and up above it?

I mounted my fans on 6" downrods and I feel like it starves the airflow somewhat vs. the potential of hanging about 24" down.

That said you need to look out for your personal safety! I would try a wall mount version. I believe there are swing-out freight dock versions for needing to work inside of stuffy semi trailers unloading this and that. The fan is nothing new, its just on a swing-arm linkage....
