Proposed criteria to describe desirable characteristics of a spin-resistant airplane are reviewed. Flight tests of two representative light airplanes to evaluate compliance with the criteria are also presented. The baseline airplane configurations would not meet the spin resistance criteria. Tests of the airplanes with a wing leading edge modification to enhance spin resistance showed compliance with the proposed criteria. The tests demonstrated the usefulness of the criteria when the criteria are applied in the manner described.
