19、anes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safetyincluding the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their costthe air density(密度) is lower up there, creating le
20、ss drag(阻力)for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings cant really survive at 30，000 feet.

Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressu
