A copy was forwarded to the JSBSim project, but it was never incorporated into the baseline.
It' s patterned after a model used at the NASA Lewis Research Center and a paper written by a professor at the Univ of Toledo in Ohio. The exact reference is not handy ATM. I'm in the process of reworking the model and setting it up for 0.9.11. There are some additional features that are provided for accurately modeling the fuel system on the 747 and how fuel moves through the 8 tanks, cross-feed valves, and plumbing to the engines. Also presents an idea on modeling variances in engine performance on multi-engined aircraft. It will be several weeks or more until I have the newer version working. The first version is rough and needs work, but the essential pieces are there as well as the interfaces defined in JSBSim.cxx and FlightGear. You can go to www.lfstech.com and download the complete source. It is a bit dated -- 0.9.8, but it should prove helpful. Once the update is complete, we'll be posting that as well.
