The fins added to my sketch wanted having the effects of winglets in reducing drag. This could be tested in an scale model at an aerodynamic wind tunnel, but I lack both the tunnel and the funds. For fuel, the X-15 side tanks are convenient, if it were tolerable at hypersonic speeds, for sure will be in airliners. Blessings + | |

| Aug 30, 2021 at 12:12 | comment | added | Urquiola | Yes, this is known, what I asked is if a flat bottomed, semicircular fuselage section would provide more lift, thus increasing overall airplane efficency and fuel economy, while keeping the passenger and cargo capacity, and the structural strenght. Thanks. Blessings + | |

Tilt it, and it provides some lift as well" | |
