Analysis of angle-of-attack history of spinning body; asymptotic solution for resultant angle-of-attack is derived, applicable to any axially symmetric body having aerodynamic restoring-moment coefficient proportional to sine of resultant angle-of-attack; solution yields results in satisfactory agreement with results obtained from numerical integrations of exact equations of motion.
