  2. Spin (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics)

    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.

  3. Aerobatic maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobatic_maneuver

    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 ...

    This, combined with lower air density at the higher altitude of the Academy airfield and training areas, meant spin recovery was delayed and/or improper spin prevent/recovery techniques were used. Parachutes were not worn on the first fatal accident but were worn on the second and third fatal accidents.

    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.

    At 230,000 feet, the X-15 entered a Mach 5 spin. Adams used the minimal manual controls he had along with backup controls to attempt an emergency landing at Rogers Dry Lake, but only managed to throw the aircraft into a pilot induced oscillation and a Mach 3.93 inverted dive. The plane began to break up 10 minutes and 35 seconds after takeoff ...
