Hi Tod,,
I am interested in participating in development on this project. I have a BS in aero. eng. from Embry-Riddle Aero. Univ. and MS in comp. sci & eng. from Univ. of Texas-Arlington (real time systems and sw eng specializations). plus lots (~15 yrs) of primary structural design (3d modeling), avionics systems and digital control systems design exp. i work in a different field now and miss aeronautics. this sounds like a good way to do it as a hobby. My hope is to someday design and build an experimental a/c and fly it to Oshkosh, which is where I grew up. An open-source simulator such is an ideal way to work on this design.
There are tow places where you can start working on FDM related issues:
JSBSim: http://www.jsbsim.org YASim: FlightGear/src/FDM/YASim
JSBSim is a coefficient driven FDM, whereas YASim (basically) is a geometry driven FDM.
You might also want to subscribe to the FlightGear flight dynamics mailing list where any flight model related discussions would occur:
http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-flightmodel
It would be very welcome if someone with an aero engineering background would join FlightGear.
Erik
