Which application provides such shape? Can you please attach an image of such shape.

The provided shapes are chosen to have a good compatibility with MS Office. Extensions can provide further shapes as Gallery theme. Users have very different requests about the kind of needed shapes. Thus I do no support to extend the current collection.

The book "Custom Shape Tutorial" gives you help in designing your own shapes.
https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/.

Perhaps describe it on Ask? Maybe someone will create it for you, in case you are not able to do it yourself.

The specific bullet shapes I would like to see added are the Parabola and the Ogive shape, as they can be used for many simple aerodynamic and hydrodynamic drawings/sketches, see attached file.

So it seems you are speaking of this:

Comment 6 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-09-29 12:35:04 UTC
We have:
- "Flowchart: Delay" shape should cover "Parabola"
- "Block Arrows: Pentagon" shape OR "Flowchart: Off-page connector" shapes should cover "Cone"

So I guess only the "Ogive" shape is missing. Wouldn't you agree?
Noting that Office.com does not provide such a shape, as far as I can tell.

I'd tend to agree with Regina, this should be realised via extension.
