Silent Wings simulates the flight physics by integrating forces acting on the aircraft mass over time.

There are two kinds of forces acting on the aircraft: aerodynamic forces and landing gear/hardpoint forces. So to set up a complete physics model, you need to define the aircraft mass properties, the landing gear, and the aerodynamic model.
