Description

A DY-100 at launch measured just over 200m in height, almost twice as tall as a Saturn V moon rocket. Aerodynamic forces during atmospheric flight were controlled using an airflow forcefield generated in the nose and rear section (vsfx.deviantart.com/art/DY-100…).

Note: The height of the vehicles can vary depending on the version and stages used. The length of the DY-100 itself, as assumed here is 110 m. There is no canon figure.

3-5 SRBs bolted together with un-aerodynamic battleshippage, and being able to generate an airflow forcefield without having technology that would make aerodynamic losses negligible, which they already mostly are? I never knew the creators of Star Trek were that clueless when it came to actual aerospace design...
