Aircraft spinning is an important area of design for general aviation and military aircraft, and has been so, since the early days of aviation. In many of the major aeronautical laboratories in the world, aircraft spinning has been the subject of intensive periods of research. However, the resulting design criteria are still only adequate for predicting gross trends in aircraft spin behavior. To enable flight testing to proceed with confidence and to minimize modifications during flight development, most major aircraft development programs include extensive scale-model spin testing. Here, the development of these techniques and their application for spin prediction are discussed.
