Yep.
I'm developing a flight / general vehicle simulation that's based on
ODE. It has a component based vehicle model - the vehicle consists of
components that (usually) encapsulate a ODE body. Each component can
calculate its forces (lift, drag, propulsion, etc) and are joined
together by ODE joints. With the same engine i can create other 
vehicles (cars, boats, etc) by just modeling the right components.

Everything will be of course open source.
