Any good sites where i could learn aerodynamics at a highschool level?

They don't even teach basic maths in US high schools

I learned calculus in a US high school but ok

don't worry about the level, just research aerodynamics
you know how to research right?

Just read Schlichting if you feel like learning about that shit.
Just be warned, it's a clusterfuck

No you didnt. You learned how to take basic limits and antiderivatives

>Learn aerodynamics at the highschool level

I've never heard of aerodynamics being taught at the highschool level. If you mean you want resources which someone at a highschool level could understand, there probably aren't any. At least nothing meaningful beyond maybe what a drag coefficient is. A lot of aerodynamics involves heavy use of calculus and differential equations. Learn differential calculus, integral calculus and multivariable calculus. Then learn differential equations. THEN worry about learning aerodynamics. If you crack open a book on aerodynamics now you'll probably close it and never look back.

google gives me this:

and I remember looking at this shit back in high school. Can't say it actually helped but it was a fun diversion. NASA publishes a good amount of other material aimed at inexperienced people. Look at any "STEM outreach" programs you can find too. Additionally online courses on massive sites like edx usually teach subjects at a basic level.

Aerospace engineer here. You can't learn aerodynamics at a highschool level, but if you absolutely want a pop-sci tier explaination, then go on Wikipedia and read about Bernoulli's theorem, while ignoring the gravitational factor and assuming viscosity is equal to zero. If you have any specific question I'll try to answer them as best I can.

To be fair I don't think anyone really understands calculus at the end of calc 1. It takes experience more than anything else to recognize how an integral naturally arises from a problem that no amount of knowing definitions will give you.

That's not even aerodynamics, that's just a free body diagram.
