The PNC-55AC Nose Cone is designed to balance strength, lightweight performance, and aerodynamic efficiency for BT-55 body tube rockets. Blow-molded from high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), it provides the ideal combination of durability and low mass to maximize altitude potential while ensuring dependable recovery system deployment.
Its seamless, smooth surface reduces drag and maintains a clean aerodynamic profile, whether conical or ogive in shape. This ensures straighter trajectories, improved stability, and reduced air resistance—helping your rocket perform at its best from launch to recovery.
Engineered for compatibility, the PNC-55AC includes a molded shoulder for a snug, secure fit inside BT-55 tubes. The built-in eyelet simplifies attachment of parachutes or shock cords, making recovery setup quick and reliable.
Used in well-regarded Estes kits such as the Cherokee E, Bull Pup 12D, Nike-X, and the Designer’s Special, this versatile nose cone offers both professional finish and dependable flight performance for new builds or replacement parts.
