A brief history of stall/spin technology for light general aviation airplanes is presented. Criteria needed to describe desirable characteristics of a spin-resistant airplane and means to evaluate airplanes for compliance with the criteria have been developed. Initial results from limited flight tests of an experimental high-wing airplane indicated that the basic configuration would not meet the spin resistance criteria. Further tests with the airplane modified to enhance its spin resistance are planned.
