That is, multi-stages would allow different engines >for different altitudes. The shape of the bell of the rocket engine depends on the pressure surrounding the engine. This indeed is one of the reasons for multi-staging. (another is to discard the weight of the tankage and weight of extra engines that lifted that tankage when full) -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.
