Extract

The purpose of this paper is to give some account of the work on spinning and the progress which has been made since S. B. Gates and L. W. Bryant presented their paper to the Society, which was published in more comprehensive formi by the Aeronautical Research Committee as R, & M. 1001.

Although it is distinctly possible that the aeroplane of the future will be unspinnable it is a fact that the great majority of present day aeroplanes are capable of taking up the spinning motion either inadvertently or by deliberate intent on the part of the pilot. If it were really true that all those aeroplanes which apparently require to be forced into a spin would J ever inadvertently fall into one, a considerable number could be definitely classed as safe by forbidding spinning on such aircraft.
