Author of the Getting Started guide.
-Jon S. Berndt <jsb@hal-pc.org>
- Working on a complete C++ rewrite/reimplimentation of the core FDM.
- Initially he is using X15 data to test his code, but once things are
- all in place we should be able to simulator arbitrary aircraft.
- Maintains a page dealing with Flight Dynamics at:
- http://www.hal-pc.org/~jsb/flightsim.html
- Special attention to X15 is paid in seperate pages.
+Paul Beardsley <Beardspa@hotmail.com>
+ The 1903 Wright Flyer was inspired by a model contributed by Paul
+ Beardsley. Very little of the original model remains, but without
+ Paul's excellent work we might not have our own 1903 Flyer. Model
+ was reworked and retextured by Jim Wilson.

+Jon S. Berndt <jon@jsbsim.org>
+ Chief architect of JSBSim, the default flight dynamics model (FDM)
+ for FlightGear. Jon's professional work has involved simulation and
+ prototyping for vehicles ranging from the F-16 to his current work
+ on the space shuttle and future manned launch vehicles. Since 1998
+ Jon has been working on creating JSBSim together with co-author Tony
+ Peden. JSBSim is an object-oriented, multi-platform aerospace
+ vehicle simulator that can be integrated with broader flight
+ simulation programs (since it provides no visual model), or run in a
+ standalone mode for batch runs. For more information, see the JSBSim
+ home page at: http://www.jsbsim.org
Paul Bleisch <pbleisch@acm.org>

+ Ruthlessly hunted down memory leaks in FlightGear, SimGear, and JSBSim.

David Luff <david.luff@nottingham.ac.uk>
Contributed heavily to the IO360 piston engine model.
+Lewis Magruder <blackhawk96@hotmail.com>

+ is pretty much as converted from the original. The interior cockpit
+ was added by Jim Wilson.
