This nosecone has a lower drag coefficient than most parts, potentially making rockets more stable. However, with KSP's current [[drag| drag model]] nosecones only add to a craft's mass and drag, essentially making them useless.

The Aerodynamic Nose Cone is a cap that fits to the front of an aircraft or rocket.
Usage
This nosecone has a lower drag coefficient than most parts, potentially making rockets more stable. However, with KSP's current drag model nosecones only add to a craft's mass and drag, essentially making them useless. It still looks good, though.
