Why do aircraft have black patches at the nose on older aircraft?

The black patch is material that allows radar to penetrate with no interference. Under the dome is the look ahead weather radar. New planes have that cone painted, but the front still has material that allows the radar to see ahead.

Why does an airplane have to have a pointing nose?
An airplane doesnt HAVE to have a pointy nose. But aircraft designers are constantly looking for ways to reduce aerodynamic drag, and so aircraft are designed to be as streamlined as possible. Indeed many older aircraft dont have a pointy nose at all. Look up the Boeing stearman, the P-47 thunderbolt or the "super guppy" for examples.
