Description
When you have gap at middle of rocket, you try to build fairing over that gap this happens:
if you build fairing straight to upper part of gap, you get lot more air resistance than closing fairing and then attach upper part of rocket.
So it seems that if you build fairing to upper part, upper part still gets full air resisctance like it had gap behind of it.
At picture you see highest achieved altitude and structure type, you see that straight fairing which should be one of most optimal, is actually worst design in-game.

Added picture of gap without fairing and aerodynamics, so easier to understand what i mean with gap.
