I am looking for a fact based answer. What are the drag coefficients for a cylinder, a wedge, etc? (that would be a good start)
I know there are other reasons for a rocket to be cyllindricalcylindrical that aren't related to aerodynamics such as efficiency when mixing the propellants etc... Oretc… or is that the exclusive reason why they are cyllindricalcylindrical?
Or is it more related to the logistics or both? If it is due to both things being true, then with 3D printing etc... getting bringing costs of building other shapes down makes, is it likely we will see a wedge shaped rocket anytime soon?
Thanks! I am very interested in the possible answers!
