The modern airplane design works well, but from a fuel efficiency standpoint, could planes be designed more aerodynamically — to lower drag and increase lift?

现代的飞机设计做得很好，但立足于燃料效率来看，飞机是否能设计得更符合空气动力学——降低阻力还是增加动力？

The aerofoil of a wing creates more lift than drag, but exactly how much depends on its design and the speed of the air passing over it.

飞机上的机翼制造升力超过阻力，但具体取决于机翼的设计和当时经过的空气流动速率。

MIT’s D “double bubble” series design concept is based on a modified “tube-and-wing” structure that has a very wide fuselage to provide extra lift.

麻省学院的D型“两个泡泡”系列设计概念基于改进过的“管状机身和一对后倾机翼”结构，机身更加宽大，可以提供额外的升力。
