Sure. Lots of similar cases where aerodynamicists have added something to a wing to improve it. That's what my caveat in italics was alluding to. And sometimes you can do something useful with the extra volume we may ask for.

But if you constrain the pod for some non-aerodynamic reason then I doubt it will be the best shape that it could be, almost by definition.
