I think this should be solved via an additional option like:
--fdm= which stands for flight model.

So when starting flightgear with a different FDM model for the c172 it would 
look like this:

./fgfs --aircraft=c172 --fdm=yasim
or
./fgfs --aircraft=c172 --fdm=jsbsim
or
./fgfs --aircraft=c172 --fdm=LaRCsim


When we want to know if a particular FDM model is available for an aircraft
we could mention that in the --show-aircraft list.
So this could look like this:

c172                         Cessna 172 (yasim, jsbsim, LaRCsim)

Where the names in the brackes show what kinds of fdm models are available for 
this aircraft type.

The X-15 would have in this case only such an entry:
X15                   North American X-15 (jsbsim)

Which means that only jsbsim is available but not yasim or others.



In the end we should have a aircraft selector menu in flightgear anyway
where we can also choose the FDM model.
