Aircraft, the fundamental part of flight

Without aircraft, no flight simulator! Aircraft development is one of the fundamentals of developing a simulator. Contributing is fun and can be done at all levels (of difficulty).
 
 

Rating aircraft status

All the way back in May 2011, we adopted a new status-rating system for aircraft. So far, only a few have actually been rated, as can be seen in the list 'hockenberry' set up at Google Docs. If you're an aircraft developer and your aircraft is/are not on the list, please consider rating their status. All you'll need to know/do is described at Formalizing Aircraft Status. If you'd just like to get started contributing to FlightGear, this would also seem like an excellent way to get started.
