cylindrical

Titan’s hull was also an unusual shape - cylindrical, rather than spherical.

Rivian said Thursday it signed an agreement with LG Energy Solution to provide cylindrical battery cells for the R2.

This shape enables the tank to withstand a greater amount of pressure than a cylindrical tank can, Beyelia said.

The shape of its hull - the part where the passengers were - was cylindrical rather than spherical so the effects of the pressure were not distributed evenly.

Its cylindrical body, usually made of wood or metal, is covered with a ridge-like or serrated surface, which allows a musician to scrape its sides to create a sound comparable to that of a snare drum.
