Default RE: Optimal Fuselage Design

Bob:
I’ve always heard the object of having the wide point of the fuse at the trailing edge is to make the fuse cross section area as constant as possible including the wing. Is this not where the “coke bottle” fuse on some 2nd generation full scale jets came from? Your explanation, however, sure sounds better. Now if I could only understand it.
