* For studentproject Daedalus, the Technical University of München uses FlightGear to optimize the flight characteristics of a zeppelin as well to simulate its performance. Another goal is to simulate prerecorded flights from a real model for further analysis. <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.daedalus.ei.tum.de/index.php/de/mach-mit-mm |title=Mach mit ! - daedalus}}</ref> | * For studentproject Daedalus, the Technical University of München uses FlightGear to optimize the flight characteristics of a zeppelin as well to simulate its performance.

* The '''Czech Technical University in Prague''' is working on a full motion simulator to do research on situation awareness. They're using FlightGear for the visuals. A video of the simulator can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8SQa9_el8k&feature=autoshare at YouTube].

* FlightGear was used by the '''University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies''' to simulate [[UTIAS Ornithopter No.1|their first ornithopter]]. In 2010 the team made aviation history when their second ornithopter became the first to make a sustained flight.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ornithopter.net/MediaGallery/flightgear_e.html |title=Flying the Ornithopter in FlightGear Flight Simulator |author=Project Ornithopter |date=2006 |format=html }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://media.utoronto.ca/media-releases/new-media-technology/human-powered-ornithopter-becomes-first-ever-to-achieve-sustained-flight/ |title=Human-powered ornithopter becomes first ever to achieve sustained flight |publisher=University of Toronto |date=22 September 2010 }}</ref> | |||
