It's clear that if I want to understand aerodynamics I'll have to study it on my own from a reputable source, so I'd like to know from fellow aerospace engineers if you know any decent textbook on the subject.

I'm close to my bachelor degree, can't just switch now, and it's not like I want to. I just have to man up and get through this shit.

What about those of us that want to into space: private industry edition?
I'm hoping deep space industries doesn't shit the bed like planetary resources did

Take it next semester if he's retiring this year, or complain to the department because everything is outdated, or do it using more up to date methods and complain to the department of he doesn't accept it

Is it bad that I never used any CFD, or FEA tools in my mechanical engineering undergrad classes?
