The UIUC Aero Model incorporated into Flight Gear utilizes several sets of aircraft-related data to realisticly model the aircraft behavior. Listed below are the models currently available in the UIUC Aircraft model.

Aircraft Description Data Type
Beech 99 small commuter linear stability derivatives
Boeing 747 large jetliner linear stability derivatives
Cessna 172 general aviation models stall but mostly
linear stability derivatives
Cessna 310 general aviation linear stability derivatives
Cessna 620 general aviation linear stability derivatives
Convair 880 medium jetliner linear stability derivatives
F-104 Starfighter fighter linear stability derivatives
F-4 Phantom fighter linear stability derivatives
Learjet 24 business jet linear stability derivatives
Marchetti S-211 jet trainer linear stability derivatives
Pioneer unmanned aerial vehicle mostly nonlinear data with some
linear stability derivatives
