Differences in the spin characteristics of the main historical types of aircraft have resulted from structural differences such as increased stabilizer size, greater sweep-back, and fuselage stretch. Specific variables affecting the type of spin of an aircraft are analyzed with reference to a group of 117 military and nonmilitary aircraft of post-1940 design. These variables include the effects of the yaw, pitch and roll attitude control surfaces, flaps, slats, hatches, overall shapes, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, inertial characteristics, and outer loads. The modifications of spin occurring in different versions of the same aircraft are discussed in regard to the Mirage III Delta. (Author)
