It streamlines the nose.
You use fins and a nose cone on a bottle rocket because the cone reduces the drag on the rocket, and the fins help stabilize the rocket.
Get some cardboard, make a cone, and tape it to the top of the bottle.
To minimize drag on a water bottle rocket, you can reduce the surface area by making the rocket more streamlined, using a pointed nose cone, and ensuring a smooth surface finish. Additionally, reducing any protrusions or irregularities on the rocket's body will also help to minimize drag.
Foam board or cardboard.
square before you put it together
get a 2 litre bottle put a cone on top get a lancher then pump it up and BLAST OFF!!!!!
Duct tape can be used on a bottle rocket to secure components or prevent leaks in the rocket body. It is a strong and versatile adhesive that can help improve the overall performance and safety of the bottle rocket.
The body tube of a rocket is there for friction. As the rocket comes back down the body tube along with the fins are there to slow it down. Also the longer the body tube the faster your rocket will go. The body tube gives it a narrow edge.
While a nose cone can either reduce or add drag, it provides a minimal amount of stability to the rocket' flight path. The fins are the most critical component for stabilizing a rocket's flight path; that's where your focus should be.
The center of gravity of a bottle rocket is typically located towards the nose cone or front of the rocket. This helps stabilize the rocket during flight, ensuring that it flies in a straight trajectory. Placing the center of gravity too far back could cause the rocket to become unstable and veer off course.

You would need 6 to 7 construction papers to make a nose cone on a bottle rocket. You would also probably need scissors and a ruler for measurement. You would also need tape for taping on the construction paper. Then just shape the construction papers into a cone and tape it on the bottle rocket.
