I have or was always a fan of VTL but always wondered about the aerodynamics of the cone shaped rockets. Of course it could be shaped like a school bus but what do you use for power?

More recent opinions I have read here and elsewhere have come close to convincing me that VTL may not be the ultimate solution.
