Nosecones can be almost any shape and any material imaginable. Even a cube shaped nose cone can fly straight with ease. Typical cone shapes include "ogive" and "conical". They are typically made of balsa wood, plastic, and fiberglass/carbon fiber. An odd shaped nosecone can be offset by fins that are adequate to compensate for the the shape of the cone. One high-powered rocket, named "Suicide King" as seen on YouTube, actually flew without a nose cone for a nearly perfect vertical flight.

What causes nose cones on rockets to separate?
The nose cone separates when forward flight is ended and the motor 'retrofires', blowing off the nose cone and exposing the parachute.
Why are nose cones on rockets?
The pointed end reduces flat-plate drag so that maximum speed can be induced from the thrust.
What element is in rocket nose cones?
The best nose cones are made out of simple polystyrene plastic. There are balsa wood ones to, but they are second best.
What is a nose cone for a model rocket?
Most model rockets have a nose cone that is either a solid block of balsa wood, or a hollow plastic shell. Some rockets require that a small amount of weight be added to the front end of the rocket to make it fly in a stable (straight) manner. In these rockets, nose weight is often added inside of hollow nose cones - common material for weight is a small blob of modelling clay or a solid blob of glue. When nose weight needs to be added to a rocket with a solid balsa nose cone, it is common to add a small metal washer to the bottom end of the nose cone (which will end up inside the body tube when the rocket is assembled.) The amount of nose weight needed in the size rockets commonly sold in hobby stores is usually between 0 and 20 grams.
