Oh, the A-10 Thunderbolt II/ Warhog was designed around the General Electric GAU-8 Avenger 30-mm cannon. And the F4U Corsair was designed around their engines I believe too. HOWEVER, the goal of the design was to use said systems. Like a fast radial piston engine for high speeds was for the F4U. The Avenger 30MM cannon was to provide an increased capability in the aircrafts intended task of close air support, interdiction, and etc. missions.

now back on topic
Rectangle so you can make a "perfect" BLT if nothing else .
(BLT = Brave Little Toaster). Also a rectangular design makes it easier to manufacture and assemble as its base is really just 90 degree angles.

<goes back to listing supplies to build a BLT in the dorm room>
