NASA Langley is currently engaged in a comprehensive research program to improve the stall/spin characteristics of general aviation airplanes. Part of this program has included systematic flight tests of a fully instrumented airplane to determine the effects of various tail, wing, and fuselage modifications, and variation of inertia, center-of-gravity, and control positions on the spin and recovery characteristics. Airplane equipment, onboard instrumentation ground equipment, test area, and test procedures have been combined to provide a safe, practical means for conducting research in preplanned hazardous conditions. Configuration changes produced spins varying from easily recoverable to unrecoverable, and wind section design significantly influenced airplane stall, spin, and recovery characteristics.
