I threw this up on the other forum, some really good stuff, especially the MIT course for those who are interested. Be warned a strong understanding of physics, calculus and fluid dynamics is recommend for them. But hey if you've got some time on a layover why not learn something new.


For those of you genuinely interested in Aerodynamics, I suggest the following:

Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators
http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies ... 80t-80.pdf

Or, for those interested in a little extra free education from reputable sources, EDx.org has some amazing options:

Introduction to Aeronautical Engineering by Delft University of Technology
https://www.edx.org/course/introduction ... -ae1110x-0

or

Introduction to Aerodynamics by Massachusetts Institute of Technology
https://www.edx.org/course/introduction ... -16-101x-0

or

Flight Vehicle Aerodynamics by Massachusetts Institute of Technology
https://www.edx.org/course/flight-vehic ... -16-110x-0

For the latter two, you college grads can put your calculus to work.
