Abstract We consider existence, uniqueness, and computation of minimum drag shapes for projectiles subjected to both Newtonian pressure drag and skin friction drag. Critical values of the drag coefficients are determined where the optimal shape changes from perfectly blunt to conical to partially blunt. The existence proof, based on duality theory, provides an efficient algorithm for computing the optimal shape.
