The NASA Langley Research Center has undertaken a comprehensive program involving spin tunnel, static and rotary balance wind tunnel, full-scale wind tunnel, free flight radio control model, flight simulation, and full-scale testing. Work underway includes aerodynamic definition of various configurations at high angles of attack, testing of stall and spin prevention concepts, definition of spin and spin recovery characteristics, and development of test techniques and emergency spin recovery systems. This paper presents some interesting results to date for the first aircraft (low-wing, single-engine) in the program, in the areas of tail design, wing leading edge design, mass distribution, center of gravity location, and small airframe changes, with associated pilot observations. The design philosophy of the spin recovery parachute system is discussed in addition to test techniques.
