The subforum you are looking for is "Infantry Tools & Tactics, I think.

Integrate a couple times in spherical or polar coordinates if I remembered right.

Hi Impulse, welcome to SH. Have you taken Calculus? It's usually fairly straightforward to calculate the volume of a revolution of a curve.

Hello, I'm not sure which nosecone variety your formula corresponds to, it doesn't look like any that I am familiar with (although it might just be in a different form). Here is the formula for a tangent ogive (via wiki); This site also has a discussion; http://tmtpages.com/tech/tangent_ogive.htm Unless you make the ogive cover the whole semicircle, there will be a discontinuity in the curve at the nose (a point), is this what you meant by a true tangent ogive. For whatever reason, most of the results when you google "tangent ogive" relate to bullet design, surprisingly few about rocketry or aircraft. Then again, most rockets probably use Sears-Haack bodies, which have less drag but are more complex to construct. Finally, welcome to SH.

I was goofing around with google patents and came across this tonight. I guess as some point in the 1960's Porsche decided it would patent an air cooling system for tanks. Interesting.

This is on the fizziks side of things, but like all theoretical physics it also runs well into mathematics, and so I am posting it here as a nice illustration of how blurred the line between math and physics is:

Speaking of Panzerfausts: Look at that back blast. In case you didn't know, the counter weight in a Panzerfaust is aluminium powder.
