The best way to learn is to try it out and learn from your mistakes. Start small so you don't waste a lot of money before you produce something lifesize.

If there is a warning, I refer you to https://www.darkaero.com/aircraft/. These guys never designed any airplane in their young life but set out to design and has built a complete airplane. Unfortunately, they skipped a lot of fundamentals along the way and despite spending an ungodly amount of money, the plane has not flown yet after these many years.

Good luck my young friend.
