Why some Aircraft's Fuselage Shaped like this? | Understanding Area Rule Shock Waves and Wave Drag!

Some Aircraft that fly in high subsonic, transonic and supersonic speed have a curved fuselage. This design is not made to look good! But to reduce a drag component called as Wave Drag.
Wave Drag is created because of the formation of shock waves on the wing and ahead of the leading edge.
We look at what are shock waves and what is area rule and how it is applied on an aircraft!

This is the only thing i've read/watched that let it click for me. The specifics and graphics did it, I think.

hahaha! i came here from google looking for pictures of shockwaves around aircraft. when i saw the thumbnail on this video with such a question, first thing that came into my mind in 2 seconds was the area rule. i was damn right, now i am happy and feel good about myself.😂

Your explanation says area rule reduces drag. It does, but you give no explanation of how it reduces drag in the transonic range.
