| | | | |
| − | The '''Protective Rocket Nose Cone Mk7''' is a size 2 cap that fits in the front of a rocket.

| |
| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | This [[nose cone]] can be used to minimise the [[drag]] of a 2.5m stack when facing directly [[prograde]], potentially making rockets more stable and improving fuel efficiency.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Variants ==
| |
| − | As of version [[1.6]], this nose cone has three textures that can be switched in the editor.

| |
| − | * Historically, before the major [[aerodynamics]] change in [[1.0]], this part was primarily of aesthetic value (although the reduced drag coefficient for nose cones in [[0.22]] did make it possible for them to provide some improved stability, at the cost of increased total drag). After 1.0, the drag model has made them useful or even essential.
