FlightGear can use many different FDM (Flight Dynamics Models.) One of its
primary two is JSBSim (another is YASim,) which can be run standalone or
within another program.
If you want to simulate the flight of aircraft, possibly with systems such
as autopilots, then JSBSim can do the task. I would suggest looking at it.
There is an excellent JSBSim guide at
http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/JSBSimReferenceManual.pdf that is a great help
when developing aircraft for JSBSim. JSBSim's Wikipedia article is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSBSim, and I would suggest starting there.
I hope this helps.
