Hi,

One can already tow YASim aircraft using the air tow capability. It is 
also fairly easy to make liftless aircraft FDM configs for ground 
vehicles in JSBSim - I made a simple one for a mule / small tow truck 
yesterday. You can get it here:

Note: it is not particularly well tuned yet.. :) 
Use } } space to start the engine.
