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.

this chart appears in the source document by Gary A. Crowell, as well, and he has extensive references but attributions for the chart are not clear, and i don't know which of these might be online in some form. the reason i believe this needs to be justified is, the tangent ogive nose cone was chosen by SpaceX for their Starship rocket. the ...

A nose cone is the conically shaped forwardmost section of a rocket, guided missile or aircraft, designed to modulate oncoming airflow behaviors and minimize aerodynamic drag. Nose cones are also designed for submerged watercraft such as submarines , submersibles and torpedoes , and in high-speed land vehicles such as rocket cars and velomobiles .
