Aircraft models

http://home.flightgear.org/ FlightGear project is a sophisticated and open flight simulator framework for use in research or academic environments, pilot training, as an industry engineering tool. FlightGear supports several different flight models: JSBSim, YASim, and UIUC.

http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/ JSBSim is an open source flight dynamics model. Cross-platform. JSBSim has no graphics. Fully configurable flight control system, aerodynamics, propulsion, landing gear arrangement, etc. through XML-based text file format. Rotational earth effects on the equations of motion (Coriolis and centrifugal acceleration modeled). All data is derived from textbooks (such as Stevens and Lewis "Aircraft Control and Simulation" and Sutton's "Rocket Propulsion Elements").

YASim for Yet Another Simulator. YASim takes a fundamentally different approach to many other FDMs by being based on geometry information rather than aerodynamic coefficients. YASim uses the geometry of the aircraft to generate the base flight characteristics. YASim has a particularly advanced helicopter FDM.

http://www.ae.illinois.edu/m-selig/apasim/Aircraft-uiuc.html UIUC: This FDM is based on LaRCsim originally written by the NASA. UIUC extends the code by allowing aircraft configuration files instead and by adding code for simulation of aircraft under icing condition

Inertial navigation system

http://www.instk.org/ Open source aided inertial navigation project. The INS toolkit consist of large number of octave/matlab scripts which implements the core navigation functions and algorithms. It also includes working Aided-INS examples which can be used as simple starting point for the real world inertial navigation system designs.

Aircraft design tools

http://openvsp.org/ OpenVSP is a parametric aircraft geometry tool. OpenVSP allows the user to create a 3D model of an aircraft defined by common engineering parameters. This model can be processed into formats suitable for engineering analysis.

http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/avl/ AVL is a program for the aerodynamic and flight-dynamic analysis of rigid aircraft of arbitrary configuration. It employs an extended vortex lattice model for the lifting surfaces, together with a slender-body model for fuselages and nacelles. General nonlinear flight states can be specified. The flight dynamic analysis combines a full linearization of the aerodynamic model about any flight state, together with specified mass properties.
