It depends on which flight dynamics model (FDM) you are using. Most aircraft models use either the Yasim FDM or the JSBSim FDM. The Yasim FDM is integral to FlightGear and the source is located in the /source/src/FDM/YASim directory. The JSBSim FDM is an independent project ( see http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/ ) and FlightGear uses a snapshot of JSBSim which can be found in the /source/src/FDM/JSBSim directory.
