Are they shaped like that because they can join together in a chain? Also, are there any secret compartments on the top and bottom of the jumper like there are on the sides?

I think our friend here was referring to the angled front and back of the puddlejumper, not its round shape.
Methusala, I've wondered about that myself. However, then I find myself wondering what the point would be (especially since there don't seem to be any doors in the front, unless they're under the control panel and you have to crawl through, heheh), and so that train of thought usually halts.
But since I'm here, I think I'll try to think of some reasonable applications for hooking them up like traincars...
-Power conservation? Pull the puddlejumpers by an engine at the front to somewhere normally beyond their range?
-Stuff 'em into some kind of giant puddlejumper cannon? Shoot them like spitwads? (Even funnier thought: a giant 'machine gun' loaded with puddlejumpers.)
-Stuff them into long tubes and vend them like gobstoppers?
-Ten syllables: Atlantis no Shinkansen. (Oh, WHY can't a sci-fi city have those instead of transporters?!)
-They could stuff their front ends into some kind of port?

The docking port on the satilite certainly fit well but whether the satilite was designed to fit the PJ or vice versa is a mystery.
