This question was asked before?...
I would suggest a revolved catenary, parabola, arc, or Sears Haack body.
A catenary is the shape of a hanging chain.

Brian and FP, thank you !
>>> This question was asked before?...
Sure thing. But new ideas and thoughts come up all the time - the proof ! Earth would still be flat if we stopped at the first answer.
The Sears Haack body looks good. And I'll have a look at catenary as well.
I'm getting closer ... ;)

Gaudì, he used to estimate the shape of his arcs by putting weights on a rope in tensional status. The resulting shape was, inverted, the shape of the arcs. It's indeed a catenary.
