To provide a high speed vehicle having a nose shape which reduces a pressure gradient of a micro pressure wave and secures the capacity necessary for each of the driver's cab and the passenger's cabin and the visibility necessary for driving, a nose shape is proposed having a tip region, an intermediate region and a rear region, respectively. The change rate of the sectional area from the tip toward the rear end is maximal in the tip region and progressively decreases towards the intermediate region and the rear region.

This invention relates to a method of fixing an inside panel of a car, and its fixing structure. In a structure for fixing an inside panel by employing an interior decoration material to form a passenger room of a car, the present invention relates to a method and a structure for fixing an inside panel of a car, particularly suitable for a railway car. An inside frame which is press-formed is fixed to frames of a car, and an inside panel is fixed to the inside frame through fasteners. Since the inside panel is fixed to the press-formed inside frame, surface uneveness does not occur on the inside panel even if any unevenness exists on the frames of the car. A cushion material is attached to the inside frame at the joint portion of two inside panels along the joint portion. The inside panel has a decoration sheet bonded to its surface, and this decoration sheet is bent back at the edge portions of the inside panel. Therefore, the appearance of the joint portion can be improved.
