RE: Is there any fundamental or aesthetic reason why the cockpit should be wider at the top than at the bottom?
If your butt is the same width as your shoulders, then why not make it streight? However, I don't think it would look as good and would also cause it to have more frontal area. If I were making it wider, I would maintain the same proportions. I am not building an S, but I don't think the wider fuselage will require longer wings. Your results will vary!
