Abstract: Nosecone and tailfin designs for aerodynamic systems are disclosed. The designs increase the usable volume within the fuselage of the aerodynamic system while still maintaining the same length for the aerodynamic system. In an example, the nosecone is truncated and includes a blunted tip compared to standard nosecone designs, which allows for more useable space along the length of the aerodynamic system. A tailfin structure is fabricated as a separate piece (separate from the fuselage of the aerodynamic system) and slips over a portion of one end of the fuselage, thus allowing useable volume within the fuselage beneath the tailfin structure. The tailfin structure also includes a hollow cavity for holding componentry (e.g., an RF transmitter, receiver, or transceiver device) with wires that feed through the tailfin structure and into the fuselage of the aerodynamic system.

Abstract: A heat dissipation structure is disclosed that is especially well-suited for use on aerodynamic systems. The heat dissipation structure is formed within a metallic body that surrounds the heat-generating electronics. The heat dissipation structure is designed to both dissipate the generated heat and also to isolate RF cross-talk between the one or more transmitters and receivers. The heat dissipation structure includes a plurality of ring structures that extend around at least a portion of a body that houses the one or more heat-generating electrical components. The plurality of ring structures may be recessed into the body, and a first spacing between a first adjacent pair of ring structures of the plurality of ring structures is different from a second spacing between a second adjacent pair of ring structures of the plurality of ring structures.
