The forces coming on the arms of flywheel are tangential to the flywheel rotation.During the design of arms precaution is taken that arms are made with minimum material with required strength &with elliptical c/s we made arms stronger by keeping major axis of ellipse in parallel & minor axis perpendicular with direction of force so that large material is available in the direction of applied force. There for c/s of flywheel is elliptical.
