Nose cone

A nose cone is usually used to reduce drag by rounding the top of a rocket part making it easier for air to flow around it. With the aerodynamic changes in 1.0 placing one on the flat top of rocket will decrease atmospheric drag. For example, a RT-10 rocket booster launched by itself with an Aerodynamic Nose Cone will reach a height of 10500 m, whereas with no nose cone at all, it would only reach a height of 8100 m.
