Book Description

Kirsten and her best friend, Tracy, have been fighting ever since only Kirsten was chosen to be in the Limelight Majorettes parade. It will take Storm's magical help to put these two friends back on track!




Spin-tunnel Investigation of the Effects of Mass and Dimensional Variations on the Spinning Characteristics of a Low-wing Single-vertical-tail Model Typical of Personal-owner Airplanes


Book Description

This paper presents the results of a spin-tunnel investigation of a low-wing model typical of present-day four-place personal-owner airplanes to determine the effect of changes in loading, tail design, and wing shape on spin and recovery characteristics. Analysis of the data presented indicates some of the characteristics necessary for meeting present-day spinning requirements for personal-owner airplanes.

Floating Characteristics of a Plain and a Horn-balanced Rudder at Spinning Attitudes as Determined from Rotary Tests on a Model of a Typical Low-wing Personal-owner Airplane


Book Description

An investigation was conducted to determine the floating characteristics of full-length plain and horn-balanced rudders during rotary tests at spinning attitudes of a typical low-wing personal-owner airplane model. The investigation also included the determination of the effects of the horizontal tail and wing on the rudder floating characteristics.

Status of Spin Research for Recent Airplane Designs


Book Description

The study is presented in terms of the following major problem areas: interpretation of results of spin-model research, analytical spin studies, techniques involved in obtaining measurements of various parameters in the spin, effectiveness of controls during spin and recoveries, influence of long noses, strakes, and canards on spin and recovery characteristics, and correlation of spin and recovery characteristics for recent airplane and model designs.
