Results of recent wind tunnel tests and analyses are described which are aimed at helping to prevent spin entry after a stall by modifications to the aircraft wing. Simple add-on devices were utilized which modify the shape of the lift curve after stall, making it essentially flat to 30- 40 degree angle of attack. It is hypothesized that his will greatly reduce the danger of spin entry. Further research will be aimed at laying a firmer theoretical and analytical basis for the approach and at incorporating the complete full scale airplane and its dynamics into the problem.
