NASA-Langley's ongoing research programs on behalf of performance, safety, and utility enhancements for small civil aircraft have over the last decade introduced important advancements in natural laminar flow inducement and stall/spin recovery and prevention. The achievability and maintainability of natural laminar flow has led to performance improvements of as much as 25 percent. Recent research has improved predictive techniques for aircraft stall/spin characteristics, and also led to the development of a wing leading edge design for enhanced spin resistance.
