Quick nosecone shapes aerodynamic tests with RP-1/FAR

Tried to tune all of them to 7540g. Managed a ±7g maximum variance with imperfect fuel consumption rates, so take the results with a grain of salt. Rendered in 9K for if anyone wants to zoom in on the text.

Edit: Round#2, Peaked#2, and especially Sharp#1 seemed to perform the best this round, while Waisted, Round#1, and especially Round#3 performed the worst, based on peak altitude and drag. Flat included for control only.
