Abstract:- The vehicle moving at hypersonic speed degenerates the material faster in this process causing

I. INTRODUCTION
Pressure
This nose cone shape is designed to travel through
compressible fluid medium. In case of spherically blunt
profile, we observe highest mean pressure value on surface
of body. Thus, to attain minimum tip temperature, parabolic
nose shape is preferred. To attain the lowest value of mean
temperature on the surface, we prefer the tangent ogive nose
design. Also, by using tangent ogive shape for the nose
cone, we obtain minimum value of mean shear stress at the
surface.
