* The '''Military Technical College''' in Egypt developed a virtual lab with MATLAB and FlightGear. "It can be used easily by students to study and visualize classical control principles using FlightGear and MATLAB GUI with an attractive case study of a flight control system."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.researchgate.net/publication/236174210_automatic_control_education_using_flight_gear_and_matlab_based_virtual_lab/file/3deec5245860723ce4.pdf |title=Automatic control education using FlightGear and MATLAB based virtual lab |date=May 2012 }}</ref>

* '''French Aerospace Lab (ONERA)''' and '''University of Toulouse''', France (2004). A thesis student Frédéric Dehais has used FlightGear and developed a cognitive counter-measures experimental environment (p.119 and following) to show the pilot/ATC scheme could be formalized and enhanced to avoid cognitive perturbation. Use of Atlas and Onera Messenger. Over 22 real-life pilots have been testing this environment.<ref>{{fr}} {{cite web |url=http://oatao.univ-toulouse.fr/2137/1/Dehais_2137.pdf |title=Modélisation des conflits dans l’activité de pilotage |first=Frédéric |last=Dehais |publisher=University of Toulouse |date=21 June 2004}}</ref>

* '''Pázmány Péter Catholic University''' and the '''Hungarian Academy of Sciences''' developed a collision avoidance system for UAVs using visual detection. The system was simulated with FlightGear serving the visuals.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.analogic.sztaki.hu/publications/UAV_Collision_avoidance.pdf |title=Collision avoidance for UAV using visual detection }}</ref>

* Brazilian '''Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais''' compared Microsoft Flight Simulator X to FlightGear for use in an UAV simulation. The authors concluded that, although the two sims were considerably close to each other, FlightGear is the better option for research, due to its flexible and open character and the higher frequency at which the simulation could run (independent of the visual frame rate).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://homepages.dcc.ufmg.br/~chaimo/public/SBAI09-cantoni.pdf |title=Analise Comparativa Entre Microsoft Flight Simulator E Flightgear Flight Simulator Em Testes Hardware-In-The-Loop }}</ref>
