Abstract

An investigation has been made in the Langley spin tunnel to determine the spin and spin-recovery characteristics of the F-111A airplane in the symmetric and asymmetric stores loading conditions. Tests were also made with the model in the clean condition to determine whether the spin-recovery characteristics could be improved by the use of supplementary devices.
