Supersonic projectile nose cones with flat tips are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a nose cone for a projectile configured for supersonic flight at velocities of at least Mach 2.0. The nose cone has an axisymmetric body extending from a base to a tip. The body has a thickness and defines an interior cavity. The tip is defined by a flat face normal to a central axis of the projectile.
