A general aviation aircraft with drooped leading edge modifications for improvement of lateral stability at high angles of attack has been flight tested in combination with a ventral fin which improves directional stability. The two modifications were assessed in light of spin-resistance criteria proposed for incorporation into FAA certification regulations. The configuration combining outboard wing leading-edge droop and a ventral fin yielded a substantial increase in spin resistance, but fell short of all requirements encompassed by the proposed spin-resistance criteria.
