A teardrop is the most aerodynamically effective shape for a rocket travelling through the atmosphere. From an engineering standpoint, a cylindrical shape accommodates compressed gas cylinders (fuel and oxygen) most efficiently. For a rocket operating outside the atmosphere, shape is irrelevant because it will not encounter drag no matter how un-aerodynamic the shape.

What is the most effective shape for achieving critical mass?

A sphere is the most effective shape for achieving critical mass because it maximizes the volume-to-surface-area ratio, allowing for efficient packing of material. This shape ensures that the most material is concentrated in the core, leading to a faster accumulation of mass and initiation of a chain reaction.


What is the shape of a rocket?
