@seventeen
I was talking about Fairing....
So it do slow down a bit
LMAO...
I don't want to argue more... If u like it then if u want then upvote ... If u not then I don't know... Ur wish ... -

@AxisAerospace it slows it down when reentering, so that you can safely deploy a parachute. If mach 20 to under mach 1 is "a bit" to you then excuse me but LMAO

A dog cant be human but may learn some human activities... Similarly a heat shield couldn't be a parachute but may slow down a bit..... -

If they are aren't aerodynamic then the capsule will broke up into pieces due to the huge frictional force of air..... -

@Vedhaspace heat shields are supposed to slow down capsules to a decent speed, so they aren't aerodynamic

@seventeen the fairings used by others are not reuseable
ISRO termed fairing as heatsheild because of the property it has
Real heatsheild: aerodynamic (non turbulent flow of air), protects the capsule from heat
Fairing: aerodynamic (Sam as mentioned above), protects payload from heat. -

@AxisAerospace I think what you mean is that it doesn't burn in the atmosphere when the fairings reenter the atmosphere, because they are meant to be reusable

@seventeen
U r right... It make the rocket aerodynamic but also protect it from heat... -

@seventeen have you ever seen the interior of the heat shield (your fairing).... It is either black or silver.... And what colour matters.... The elements are important

@AxisAerospace no it's supposed to keep the rocket aerodynamic, if it was a heat shield it would've been silver, gold or black

@seventeen it's called heatsheild in ISRO because it protects the payload from heat while accent.

@seventeen
Yes it is also known as Heat Shield... It protects the payload from heat damage.... It is also known as fairing... -

@AxisAerospace ??? a fairing goes up, heat shield goes down
