Hi, I am an Aerospace engineer, and that kind of software is quite
difficult to get if you are a single individual. Most aircraft
companies have a different softwares packages (ANSYS CFX) to get the
different coefficients (lift, drag, moment, etc..) under different
flight conditions usign a CAD model of the proposed aircraft.Once you
get the coefficients, you can use them to write your own flight control
system and simulate the flight. Good luck
