"Kyle Boatright" wrote in message My thought is that we're splitting hairs in this thread. If the airplane is in coordinated flight and stalls straight ahead (no wing drop), a spin can't happen. But on most aircraft, one wing will drop first even if the ball is centered. This wing drop creates a yaw, opening up the possibility for a spin. But the links that Dan_Thomas sent me indicated that the airplane would not stall "straight ahead" if you were in a climbing turn. The outside wing has a higher AoA which diverges even further as it initially drops. It was intriging to me as our vacation strip demands a short field takeoff into a hedgerow of trees and you'd want to be mindful of this if you stumbled into a maximum performance evasive manuever thru errors in planning or execution. |
