Clever usage of these aerodynamic discovery?

It is still mile per seat cost of the amount of gasoline used in jet engine; and how many people and freight you can carry. Large fuselage and small jet engine may be ideal with a clever duck bill nose cone design for additional lift?

Typical airplane designs today can last 30 years before fatigue of metals forces the planes to be retired. Old designs with less economy may have to have nose cone job to get more efficiency.

Vibration studies can resolve fatigue on planes as well as passengers. Noise isolation or damping is a big part of new or old plane redesign.
