Purpose

This paper aims to provide a detailed review of the experimental research on the prediction of aircraft spin and recovery characteristics using dynamically scaled aircraft models.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper organizes experimental techniques to predict aircraft spin and recovery characteristics into three broad categories: dynamic free-flight tests, dynamic force tests and a relatively novel technique called wind tunnel based virtual flight testing.

Findings

After a thorough review, usefulness, limitations and open problems in the presented techniques are highlighted to provide a useful reference to researchers. The area of application of each technique within the research scope of aircraft spin is also presented.

Originality/value

Previous reviews on the prediction of aircraft spin and recovery characteristics were published many years ago and also have confined scope as they address particular spin technologies. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive review on the subject and fill the information void regarding the state of the art aircraft spin technologies.

预测飞机旋转和恢复特性的实验技术综述

目的

本文旨在详细回顾使用动态缩放的飞机模型预测飞机旋转和恢复特性的实验研究。

设计/方法/方法

本文将预测飞机旋转和恢复特性的实验技术分为三大类：动态自由飞行测试、动态力测试和一种称为基于风洞的虚拟飞行测试的相对新颖的技术。

发现

经过彻底审查后，突出显示了所提出技术中的有用性、局限性和开放性问题，为研究人员提供了有用的参考。还介绍了每种技术在飞机自旋研究范围内的应用领域。

原创性/价值

以前关于飞机旋转和恢复特性预测的评论发表于多年前，而且由于涉及特定的旋转技术，因此范围也很有限。本文试图对该主题进行全面回顾，并填补有关最先进飞机自旋技术的信息空白。
