the shockwave (sw), look, its simple, if you have a conical sw (in conventional nose) the flow is more chaotic at such speeds, because there is more probability to have pressure diferences arround the “cone” at all directions, the chined nose is nore stable, because there isnt so much “uncertanly” in were the difference presure appears, the sw has different shape and actually it help “holding” the nose and the airframe by the pressure forces and location
also have to do with the interaction between that sw and the others arround the rest of the airframe
“Sooooo simple.” 🙁 over G, you tend to induce headache. Now get with “the programme”: It’s called “spell checker”.
Next thing. Read a book or two. F.ex. Paul Crickmore: “Lockheed Blackbird. Beyond the secret missions”. It tells the story of RAM and the Blackbird. (It’s got pictures as well). (Stealth was not “invented” yet). There are also chapters on Blackbird interceptions by Swedish and Soviet fighterpilots.
You could also read the SR-71 Flight Manual (on line).

And let’s see some credentials for your extensive aerodynamic wisdom.
“Speed” and “chaotic” goes with some minds as well.
Rant over :p
