 === Modeling a UAV with FlightGear and YASim ===
 [[File:Blender-res.png|thumb]]
-FlightGear can be a great tool for aerospace engineering.  Here is an example of using the YASim physics engine in FlightGear to model a real world UAV based on the actual mass and geometry and performance of the airframe.  There is a blender plugin that can be used to visualize and validate the geometric data of the model. Once the simulation model is tuned and flying well, FlightGear can be used to do do simple design variation tests and predict how those changes will affect the stability of the design.
