It was also possible to exit the capsule through the nose cone.

If the meteoroid maintains a fixed orientation for some time, without tumbling, it may develop a conical " nose cone " or " heat shield " shape.

Drag can be minimised by an aerodynamic nose cone and by using a shape with a high ballistic coefficient ( the " classic " rocket shape — long and thin ), and by keeping the rocket's angle of attack as low as possible.

The accident caused a separation of the nose cone and landing gear, partial separation of the right wing, and a bend in the left wing.

A detector was placed in the nose cone section and the rocket was launched in a suborbital flight to an altitude just above the atmosphere.

Traditionally mounted above the rod, the spin cast reel is also fitted with an external nose cone that encloses and protects the fixed spool.

With a fixed spool, spin cast reels can cast lighter lures than bait cast reels, although friction of the nose cone against the unspooling line slightly reduces casting distance compared to spinning reels.

* Make your own fibreglass nose cone and wheel arches instead of buying them

The Jupiter-C design used for the launch had already been flight-tested in nose cone reentry tests for the Jupiter IRBM, and was modified into Juno I.

* Five temperature sensors ( one internal, three external and one on the nose cone );

* May 15, 1957: lifted a 300 lb ( 140 kg ) scale Jupiter ablative nose cone to an altitude of 350 mi ( 560 km ) and a range of 710 mi ( 1, 100 km )

* August 8, 1957: lifted a 1 / 3-scale Jupiter nose cone to an altitude of 285 mi ( 460 km ) and a range of 1, 330 mi ( 2, 140 km ); Juno I ( four-stage configuration ).

Both the four stage Juno I and three stage Jupiter-C launch vehicles were the same height ( 21. 2 meters ), with the added fourth stage booster of the Juno I being enclosed inside the nose cone of the third stage.

Had the fourth stage been loaded and fueled, the nose cone would have overshot the target and entered orbit.

reinforced carbon-carbon composite nose cone and silica fiber tiles of the Space Shuttle.

On 20 September 1956, von Braun and his team did launch a Jupiter-C that was capable of putting a satellite into orbit, however the launch was used only as a suborbital test of nose cone reentry technology.

They had been carried in the nose cone on a Jupiter missile to an altitude of and a distance of, successfully withstanding 38 times the normal pull of gravity.

In January 2003, a woman took an axe to the nose cone and fuel lines of a US Navy jet ; however, a trial ended in her acquittal.

The band's name comes from a particular beehive hairdo resembling the nose cone of the aircraft of the same name.

Since a radially symmetric body is needed to generate the conical shock, these " conical waveriders " generally start out with a pointed nose cone on a cylindrical body, and smoothly turn into delta shape at the rear.

The angle of the shock can be controlled by widening out the nose into a curved plate of specific radius, and reducing the radius produces a smaller shock cone angle.

The nose cone was jettisoned and after a coast of 43 minutes 52 seconds, the LM separated from its adapter, with a 167 x 222 km orbit.

This model used the " droopsnoot " nose cone, which had been designed by Wayne Cherry, Vauxhall's Chief Design Engineer to be used in the HP Firenza Droop Snoot model.

Since this occurs on curved areas, they are normally associated with the upper surfaces of the wing, the cockpit canopy, and the nose cone of the aircraft, areas with the highest local curvature.

Other changes included a race developed carbon fibre nose cone and rear spoiler, a carbon fibre 120 L fuel tank ( as opposed to the 76 L tank in the standard car ), a 4. 3: 1-ratio rear differential, 17 in diameter wheels, larger brake rotors and calipers.

Head-body length ( from the nose to the rump while on all fours ) ranges from.

The length, from the nose to the base of the tail, of the cats varies from.

The males are larger than the females and have bald patches on their head and stomach ; their length from the nose to the tip of the tail is about 24 to 30 cm ( 12 – 13 inches, the body itself is approx.

The total length of bonobos ( from the nose to the rump ) is.

The latter film introduced Nipp's habit of physically abusing Mickey, here by stretching out Mickey's nose to a ridiculous length.

This shortcut uses the bullet's length, needing no allowances for weight or nose shape.

Opposite where I lay was a bureau with a swinging glass upon it ( and here he got up and placed furniture to illustrate the position ), and looking in that glass I saw myself reflected nearly at full length ; but my face, I noticed had two separate and distinct images, the tip of the nose of one being about three inches from the tip of the other.

Since the late 1960s, when Gordon Clark found the optimum formulation of urethane foam, many of the surfboards in common use have been of the shortboard variety between 6 feet and 7 feet in length, with a pointed nose and a rounded or squarish tail, typically with three skegs ( fins ) but sometimes with two or as many as five.

The longboard, not to be confused with the skateboard variation of Longboarding, is primarily a single finned surfboard with large rounded nose and length of.

One of these, shot in eastern Tasmania weighed, with a total length from nose to tail ( possibly along the curves ).

The Goode Method determines the extension of the nose from the facial surface by comprehending the distance from the alar groove to the tip of the nose, and then relating that measurement ( of nasal-tip projection ) to the length of the nasal dorsum.

* To correct a defect of the nasal lining of the upper two-thirds of the nose, the wound dimensions ( length, width, depth ) determine the technique.

This fine beast, now more than five years old, equals and even excels in his proportions a well-grown lion, measuring as he does from nose tip to tail 10 ft 2 inches in length, and standing only three inches less than 4 ft at the shoulder.

The special nose added 19-inches ( 483 mm ) to the overall length ( the Daytona's was 18-inches or 457 mm ), and the trunk spoiler was more angled and higher than the Daytonas.

The Solomon Islands skink is the world's largest species of extant skink ; adults can reach a length of from nose to the tip of their tail when fully grown, with the tail accounting for more than half this length.

The northern Solomon Islands skink is the shorter of the two subspecies with males averaging and females averaging in length when measured from nose to tip of tail.

The typical kneeboard is between five and six and a half feet in length, with a wide round nose and constructed of Glassfibre over a polyurethane foam core.

The dragon artwork ran from the nose just forward of the cockpit, down the entire length of the fuselage's sides, with the dragon's body depicted directly below and just aft of the cockpit, with the dragon holding a nude woman in its forefeet.

Further adding to the dimorphism is the large nose or proboscis of the male, which can exceed 10 cm ( 3. 9 in ) in length, and hangs lower than the mouth.

* Muzzle: The length from the stop to the nose should be slightly shorter than from the stop to the occiput.

Growing to about 6 cm ( 2. 5 in ) total length, the black tetra has a roughly tetragonal body shape and is greyish in colour, fading from light at the nose to near black at the tail.

House mice have an adult body length ( nose to base of tail ) of and a tail length of.
