Klinar and published by . This book was released on 1951 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the results of a spin-tunnel investigation of a low-wing model typical of present-day four-place personal-owner airplanes to determine the effect of changes in loading, tail design, and wing shape on spin and recovery characteristics. Analysis of the data presented indicates some of the characteristics necessary for meeting present-day spinning requirements for personal-owner airplanes.
