bullet-shaped
Pointed and aerodynamic
Bullet-shaped describes something with the form of a bullet—cylindrical with a rounded or pointed end, tapering to streamline.
The shape suggests aerodynamic efficiency: a bullet-shaped train, bullet-shaped pods on the aircraft.
Things described as bullet-shaped are typically smooth and elongated, designed or naturally formed to move through air or water with minimal resistance.
