General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.

"A very common nose cone shape is a simple cone. This shape is often chosen for its ease of manufacture, and is also often (mis)chosen for its drag characteristics." Why is a cone mischosen? Does it have more drag than one would normally assume? Banaticus 08:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC) The conical shape has a drag coefficient of about 0.5, which is ...
Conical spiral with an archimedean spiral as floor projection Floor projection: Fermat's spiral Floor projection: logarithmic spiral Floor projection: hyperbolic spiral. In mathematics, a conical spiral, also known as a conical helix, [1] is a space curve on a right circular cone, whose floor projection is a plane spiral.
On engineering drawings, the projection is denoted by an international symbol representing a truncated cone in either first-angle or third-angle projection, as shown by the diagram on the right. The 3D interpretation is a solid truncated cone, with the small end pointing toward the viewer. The front view is, therefore, two concentric circles.
According to a recent survey from CardRates.com, 70% of Americans say they have made unplanned purchases at the airport, with 22% admitting that they frequently make impulse purchases at the airport.
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex. A cone is formed by a set of line segments , half-lines , or lines connecting a common point, the apex, to all of the points on a base that is in a plane that does not contain ...
As sports viewers and fans, Saturday is going to be a bonanza unlike anything we’ve ever seen. At noon Eastern, things kick off with SMU at Penn State followed by Clemson at Texas and then the ...
