A pilot can induce a flat spin once the spin is established by applying full opposite aileron to the direction of rotation—hence, the requirement to neutralize ailerons in the normal spin recovery technique. The aileron application creates a differential induced drag that raises the nose toward a level pitch attitude.
A spin is more complex, involving intentionally stalling a single wing, causing the plane to descend spiraling around its yaw axis in a corkscrew motion. A hammerhead (also known as a stall turn ) is performed by pulling the aircraft up until it is pointing straight up (much like the beginning of a loop), but the pilot continues to fly straight ...
The British pilot F. P. Raynham had already made a successful recovery from a spin, but the event was unobserved. [ 9 ] In spite of the discovery of "Parke's technique," also known as the "Parke Dive", [ 10 ] pilots were not taught spin-recovery procedures until the beginning of World War I.

Flat spin may refer to: Flat spin (aviation), spinning motion by a fixed-wing aircraft with angle of attack of 65 degrees or more; Flat spin (roller coaster element), a term used to describe a tight corkscrew element of a roller coaster; Flat spin, a skateboarding slide maneuver; Flat spin, a freeskiing jump trick; Flat Spin, a Thoroughbred ...
He found that by releasing back-pressure on the stick and aggressively applying opposite rudder to the direction of the spin he could change the spin into a normal dive and recover, something previously thought impossible in an N-9. His stall and spin recovery techniques remain in use to this day by aviators around the world. [5]
Environmentalist Ellen Swallow Richards was the first woman admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an impressive feat in and of itself.What's even more admirable was her work in science, a field in which women faced many obstacles, as well as the time she spent getting her Ph.D. in chemistry from MIT– well, almost.
