38、 that would eventually break the window comer is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced.Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation 變形）,and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft .Fortunately designers figured out

39、 the lack of design pretty quick . Now we have nice, rounded airplanewindows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35,000 feet a whole new outlook , doesn ' t it?13. Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes?A.
