Nose Cone Design

Nose Cone Design

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 or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance. For many applications, such a task requires the definition of a solid of revolution shape that experiences minimal resistance to rapid motion through such a fluid medium, which consists of elastic particles.

Famous quotes containing the words nose and/or design:

    I want to kiss God on His nose and watch Him sneeze
    and so do you.
    Not out of disrespect.
    Out of pique.
    Out of a man-to-man thing.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.
    Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
