Re: Flat Bulkhead Tankage

A 'conic sections' isn't a cone, it's a shape you get when you take a
slice through a cone; circles, ellipses, hyperbolae, and things like
that are all conic sections, depending on the angle you take the slice
at. Probably this means a tank bulkhead that's an ellipse, or flattened
oval.
