Patent ID: 11747120

Abstract:
Nosecone and tailfin designs for aerodynamic systems are disclosed. The designs increase the usable volume within the fuselage of the aerodynamic system while still maintaining the same length for the aerodynamic system. In an example, the nosecone is truncated and includes a blunted tip compared to standard nosecone designs, which allows for more useable space along the length of the aerodynamic system. A tailfin structure is fabricated as a separate piece (separate from the fuselage of the aerodynamic system) and slips over a portion of one end of the fuselage, thus allowing useable volume within the fuselage beneath the tailfin structure. The tailfin structure also includes a hollow cavity for holding componentry (e.g., an RF transmitter, receiver, or transceiver device) with wires that feed through the tailfin structure and into the fuselage of the aerodynamic system.
