Design Question

I am designing a craft for operation between surface and orbit.
When using the FF&S design rules, should I use an aircraft frame or an
airframe spacecraft hull?

I also have a question concerning blast radius for HEAP rounds.
The printed rule states that the blast radius is half that of an HE round.
This sounds right to me, as a HEAP round is a shaped charge and would vent
more energy in one direction.  My question arises from the update booklet
which "corrects" the blast radius to equal that of an HE round.  Is this
correction correct?

Has anyone addressed the issue of overpenetration?  You can fire a
DS round (small arms) at someone that has a large amount of energy, but if
it is slender enough, it will pass right through the target without
transfering most of that energy.  I guess my question might be, what is
the AV of a Human/Aslan/Vargr/etc. ?
