<p>To define an aircraft for FlightGear's primary FDM (JSBSIM),
see <a href="http://jsbsim.sf.net/">http://jsbsim.sf.net/</a>.</p>
<p>If you want a simpler FDM to work with, try your hand at YASim,
an alternative FDM. For an guide on creating a YASim aircraft,
an alternative FDM. For a guide on creating a YASim aircraft,
look in the FlightGear base package for
<code>Aircraft-yasim/README.yasim</code>.</p>
<p>Another FDM that is based fundamentally on conventional
aerodynamic coefficients and stability derivatives (like JSBSim) is
the UIUC Aeromodel. Examples of those aircraft are ones that have
the "uiuc" in the file name in the base package Aircraft directory
(e.g., Fokker Dr.1, Sopwith Camel, ASW-20, and Airwave hang glider).
Additional information on the UIUC Aeromodel can be found at
