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

Usage

This nosecone has a lower drag coefficient than most parts with the 0.22 update, potentially making rockets more stable. However, with KSP's current drag model nosecones only add to a craft's mass and thus increase drag, potentially making them useless. It still looks good, though.
