Model Rocketry Nose Cones (Von Kármán Spline)

thingiverse

These models are the outcome of a comprehensive study on the Von Kármán spline to create aerodynamic nose cones for model rocketry. Various models utilize the same shape, each designed to produce optimal results. The nose cones are 15.6 cm in length with a 5.4 cm diameter, featuring a distinctive 3 cm shoulder that is also 5.4 cm in diameter. <table> <tr><th width="20%">Item</th><th>Description</th></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Mk I</td><td>Constructed from hollow materials with 3mm thick walls.</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Mk II</td><td>Features a hollow nose cone with 3mm thick walls and internal cross-bracing for added stability.</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Mk III</td><td>Comprises a hollow nose cone with 3mm thick walls, internal cross-bracing, and threaded sections for cap attachment to cover an internal altimeter compartment.</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Mk III Lite</td><td>Boasts a hollow nose cone with 2mm thick walls, internal cross-bracing, and threaded sections for cap attachment to cover an internal altimeter compartment.</td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Altimeter Cap</td><td>A custom-fit threaded cap designed specifically for Mk III/Mk III Lite nose cones.</td></tr> </table>
