Part played by airfoils, either monoplane or biplane, in spinning of airplane; nature and cause of autorotation; monoplane is free from any tendency to pass from steep spin into fiat spin, while biplane may exhibit marked flat-spinning tendencies; rate of spin varies inversely as span; increased rate of spin intensifies flat-spinning tendencies of biplanes; giving upper wing greater incidence than lower wing might prove beneficial, while negative decalage should be avoided.
