Abstract [en]

The range is an essential parameter for the flight performance of a rocket. The rocket’s aerodynamics considerably determines the rocket range and is influenced by the design of the nose cone shape. The shape of the nose cone should be selected to achieve the desired rocket parameters. This research investigates the best nose cone that generates the farthest range for the 450 mm-caliber rocket configurations. Six nose cone shapes with the same length and diameter are considered in drag analysis for each configuration. Aerodynamic calculations and trajectory simulations are carried out for each configuration. The aerodynamic coefficients are calculated by using the Datcom method, and the trajectory simulation is carried out by using a numerical simulation of six Degrees of Freedom (6-DoF) equations of motion. The results have revealed that the rocket’s configuration using a power 0.75 nose cone is superior at supersonic speeds and has the farthest range, which is 107.84 km.
