Aerodynamics

Postby Gasket18 » Mon May 11 2020, 10:34

Ok a few people have said I should do aero next, which makes sense to me. I'm using OAT and for the life of me can't find an aero package in there. Does anyone have aft aerodynamics books?

These two resources will get you most of the way there at nil cost:

Jeez, those 10-minute lessons are full of errors and poor diagrams, he leaves out vector diagrams, turns normal graphs on their side, and even believes in LTE. And he is an instructor? The FAA system, where an instructor has 100 hours more than the student, leaves a lot to be desired.
