I just found this site the other day and found people talking aerodynamcs. I start college this year to major in aerodynamic design and thought that you are the people I should talk to
 
Physics news on Phys.org
possibly...

welcome to PF :smile:
 
thanks. I haven't been on this site much but I like it a lot already
 
What is your question?
