The nose cone of a rocket is the space at the leading edge or "nose" of the projectile. It could contain one or more of many different packages or payloads, including guidance electronics, or radar, infrared or other detection equipment.

∙ 14y agoWhen you are making a model rocket out of paper you need a nose cone that will be sharp enough to glide through the air. If you nose cone is more round and circular then sharp then the air will go right through the hole and not make the rocket go anywhere. If you have a rocket with a nose cone that is sharp and does not have a gap in it, the air will not escape the rocket and will shoot it off into the air. The nose cone can be big or small depending on how big you rocket is. The rocket will most likely launch correctly if you follow the steps to make it no matter what design you have.

∙ 12y agoyes, it helps it fly faster, trust me, I've tested all kinds of rocket tests.

Where can rockets go?
rockets can go anywhere.space is where rockets can go
What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?
The three kinds of rockets are solid fuel rockets, liquid fuel rockets, and ion powered rockets.
Why do rockets take off?
Rockets take off to carry things (called payloads) into space. Do you mean 'how' do rockets take off, or how do rockets work?
How do rockets move in space?
rockets move with the control
What are rockets made from?
rockets are made from silver metel
What has a pointed nose?
Many birds have pointed noses that are called beaks. An anteater also has a pointed nose.
What small animals with pointed noses and long tails?
Many of the small animals that have pointed noses and long tails are rodents. That means that these animals include mice and rats.
What animal tends to have pointed noses for digging?
Moles and shrews
Why are planes and rockets pointed in shape?
To have less air resistance (in the case of rockets, while they are still in the atmosphere).
Why do aeroplanes have round noses?
What sort of nose would you like? They could have pointed noses, and some do, but for sub-sonic airplanes they don't help much. The rounded nose provides some streamlining.
What four letter ending with E of small animals with pointed noses and long tails?
Vole.
How did white people nose get pointed?
evolution. Pointy noses may have provided an evolutionary advantage for people living in latitudes with less direct sunlight. Pointy noses probably catch Vitamin-D-rich sunlight better than flatter noses, as evidenced by how easily pointy noses get sun-burned. This evolutionary advantage could have been more significant for people with lighter-skinned noses.
Why are nose cones on rockets?
The pointed end reduces flat-plate drag so that maximum speed can be induced from the thrust.
Do Pillbugs have Noses?
No they do not have noses.
Do starfish have noses?
No, starfish do not have noses.
Does starbus moles have eyes?
Although the star-nosed moles are blind, they do have eyes. They find their way around, and find their prey, by using the "feeler" on the end of their noses that are shaped like a many pointed star.
How many noses does a slug have?
Slugs have 4 noses.
