Hey Everyone,
I'm a junior electrical engineering major and for my senior project next year, I've assembled a team of two electrical engineers and two mechanical engineers to design a fully autonomous UAV that will be able to navigate from Point A to Point B, and then return. We will have to design everything from scratch, and there is absolutely no "black boxing" allowed (i.e. purchasing a flight controller).
I've been reading all over this website, and other websites, trying to to absorb as much information about UAV's as possible. Does anyone have any advice on where to start if you're completely new to the topic? I want to understand everything, from flight mechanics to control systems.
Any links, book references, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I'd say start in the Getting Started section of the site. It has a lot of things that will spur additional reading. Remember that you can use the "search" option to find specific items of interest in the blog or discussion areas.
