to modulate oncoming airflow behaviors and minimize aerodynamic drag. Nose cones are also designed for submerged watercraft such as submarines, submersibles

practical nose cones are often blunted or truncated for manufacturing, aerodynamic, or thermodynamic reasons. A very common nose-cone shape is a simple cone. This

gov by a nose cone from an Army Jupiter rocket, brought the typical height of the Block I series to about 50 meters.""With a Jupiter nose cone, SA-5 was

The airflow pattern over the nose cone of the missile is reminiscent of the one seen of blunt nose cones or nose cones with an aerospike which will reduce

indicated that a nitrogen tank (composite overwrapped pressure vessel) in the nose cone burst below its rated pressure, triggering the destruction. Following

this model ceased after just 204 cars were registered in the UK. Some nose cones were left over at end of production and these were used in the limited
