* The '''Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics''' in China made a 3D surface movement simulation system for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Surface_Movement_Guidance_and_Control_System A-SMGCS] with FlightGear. The system displays ADS-B data in FlightGear through the multiplayer system and accurately predicts the aircraft's and/or vehicle's attitude (this is absent in ADS-B).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pub.chinasciencejournal.com/article/getArticle.action?articleId=31183 |title=3D simulation of A-SMGCS surface movement based on FlightGear |date=16 May 2012 }}</ref> | * The '''Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics''' in China made a 3D surface movement simulation system for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Surface_Movement_Guidance_and_Control_System A-SMGCS] with FlightGear.

* FlightGear was interfaced to MATLAB by the '''Indian Institute of Technology''' to develop a Vision-in-the-Loop Simulation facility for UAV landings.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ifac-papersonline.net/Detailed/64832.html |title=Vision Based Alignment to Runway During Approach for Landing of Fixed Wing UAVs |author=Marianandam, Peter Arun; Ghose, Debasish |date=2014}}</ref> | |||
* The Chinese '''Shenyang Institute of Automation'''established a simulation system based on FlightGear and Matlab to validate a path planning method based on linear programming. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of this approach and the real flight test is under development.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ojs.unsysdigital.com/index.php/just/article/view/2 |title=LP Based Path Planning for Autonomous Landing of An Unmanned Helicopter on A Moving Platform |author=Chong Wu, Juntong Qi, Dalei Song, Jianda Han |date=24 May 2013 |publisher=Journal of Unmanned System Technology}}</ref> | |||
