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 |
