This article is just a short intro to FDM's, so I'd say a link to FGPlot is sufficient.

A '''Flight Dynamics Model''' (FDM) is a set of math equations used to calculate the physical forces acting on a simulated [[aircraft]], such as thrust, lift, and drag. [[FlightGear]] supports several different types of flight dynamics models. Every aircraft simulated by FlightGear must use one of these models. | A '''Flight Dynamics Model''' (FDM) is a set of math equations used to calculate the physical forces acting on a simulated [[aircraft]], such as thrust, lift, and drag.
