This nosecone has a lower drag coefficient than most parts, potentially making rockets more stable. With KSP's new drag model, nosecones improve the drag of a rocket stack.  
With KSP's current [[drag| drag model]], nosecones only add to a craft's mass and drag, hindering its performance. This nosecone has a lower coefficient of drag than most parts, which may improve craft stability in a few situations.

The Small Nose Cone is a size 0 cap that typically fits to the front of a NCS Adapter.

Usage

This nosecone has a lower drag coefficient than most parts, potentially making rockets more stable. With KSP's new drag model, nosecones improve the drag of a rocket stack.
