Re: X-plane output. As it stands, no. But I believe a translation script can be made to output the vehicle's properties into a different format. Currently it is a python dataclass.

Thank you for linking to other resources. I will take a look at them.

Np. Interesting field.

Gymnasium w/ MuJoCo or similar would probably be most worthwhile in terms of research,

There must be fluid simulation in MSFS and XPlane because they model helicopter flight characteristics.

I don't think either model things like solar thermal effect upon wings' material properties yet.
