I would compare it to Mair's boat tail.
He used about one body diameter length to curve his body into a 22-degree slope,and then just maintained a constant slope as in your rendering.
The 'straight' conical sections are easier to fabricate but must be reinforced from the inside,as they have no eggshell strength of the compound curve and will 'tin can'.
