I am chalanging my self I'm trying to take a 18mm minimum diameter rocket to supersonic flights but should I use a parabolic nose cone or an ogive?
Well I guess it's just for bragging rights, wing able to say you made a rocket go supersonic
Where can I get coustum cut fins?
Out of curiousity, where does one get a Von karman nose cone?
Where can I get coustum cut fins? And can you give me the dimentions of the fin?
Forgive my ignorance,but aren't ogive and parabolic the same thing?

The mathematical formulae are different. Check the links in this sentence and below and see the tangent ogive section and the parabolic section.

PLEASE NOTE! in subsonic rockets (99 percent of them) nose cone shape has no dramatic impact which is why you see many ogives they are aesthetically Pleasing
OH, YOU get to wander off topic at will, but you want to act like the Thread Police for everyone else? Well, you know what I say to that?I think this is OTD and you should start a new thread
