I found myself wondering, if each cargo rack is twice the size of the previous one, then is there a shape that maintains the same aspect ratio and can be stacked efficiently.
It's not obvious, because when you chop something in half, you usually change its shape. You have to chose the relative dimensions exactly right. (In fact they are in the ratio of the cube root of 2, like European paper sizes use the square root of 2.)
So here is my guess as to what the various sizes of cargo racks look like.
