  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.

    Kershner held the record for consecutive turns in a flat spin in an aircraft, with 25 turns; Cavagnaro broke it by performing 60 consecutive turns in her Cessna, [10] and filmed the results to document the fact that the spin recovery technique does not change after larger numbers of turns. [4]

  4. Aerobatic maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobatic_maneuver

    Spin Erect spin; Inverted spin; Flat spin: A family of auto-rotational maneuvers, consisting of normal or "flat" spins, either upright or inverted. Two components must exist to spin an aircraft: 1) critical angle of attack (COA), which means that the aircraft is stalled, and 2) yaw. Tailslide Bell Tailslide

  5. Stall (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_dynamics)

    The only dangerous aspect of a stall is a lack of altitude for recovery. Incipient spin & recovery. A special form of asymmetric stall in which the aircraft also rotates about its yaw axis is called a spin. A spin can occur if an aircraft is stalled and there is an asymmetric yawing moment applied to it. [17]

  6. 3D Aerobatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Aerobatics

    Flat spin A spin induced with full up elevator, full rudder, and full aileron. Once the spin is initiated you will level the ailerons and increase engine speed a bit to pull the aircraft around. This will in turn flatten the spin. Inverted Flat spin The same as the above but inverted. Inverted flat spins are easier to control, but can be hard ...

  7. Spin stabilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_stabilization

    In aerospace engineering, spin stabilization is a method of stabilizing a satellite or launch vehicle by means of spin, i.e. rotation along the longitudinal axis. The concept originates from conservation of angular momentum as applied to ballistics , where the spin is commonly obtained by means of rifling .

    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.
