More pointed noses







It's simple physics. The more angled the sides of the nose are, the easier it is to part air. The negative ideas about pointy noses probably comes from the fact that a cone stuck onto a cylinder is not very aerodynamic because airflow fans outward thanks to the lack of a gradual transition.
