Aeroplane in free flight; wing characteristics have greatest effect on initial tendency to spin; final rate of spin will be influenced principally by combination of wing characteristics, distribution of weight along fuselage, and fin and rudder area; centrifugal couple will be greater in case of thin section; type of machine most likely to develop vicious variety of spin is thin-winged biplane of low aspect ratio, with negative stagger and small gap.
