The UIUC Aero Model incorporated into Flight Gear utilizes several sets of aircraft-related data to realisticly model the aircraft behavior. Listed below are the models currently available in the UIUC Aircraft model.

Aircraft | Description | Data Type
--- | --- | ---
Beech 99 | small commuter | linear stability derivatives
Boeing 747 | large jetliner | linear stability derivatives
Cessna 172 | general aviation | models stall but mostly linear stability derivatives
Cessna 310 | general aviation | linear stability derivatives
Cessna 620 | general aviation | linear stability derivatives
Convair 880 | medium jetliner | linear stability derivatives
F-104 Starfighter | fighter | linear stability derivatives
F-4 Phantom | fighter | linear stability derivatives
Learjet 24 | business jet | linear stability derivatives
Marchetti S-211 | jet trainer | linear stability derivatives
Pioneer | unmanned aerial vehicle | mostly nonlinear data with some linear stability derivatives
T-37 | jet trainer | linear stability derivatives
Twin Otter | small commuter | linear stability derivatives model still under development
X-15 | research aircraft | linear stability derivatives
