If you look at the Falcon 9 rocket, it is basically a straight pipe with an enlarged nose. I've been told that the center of gravity of a rocket must be above the center of aerodynamic pressure, so how come the Falcon 9 (or really any other rocket that seems to be breaking this rule) is a stable rocket? The center of aerodynamic pressure must be quite high due to the shape of the rocket's nose, so what's going on here?
