Description

Memorandum presenting an investigation in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/20-scale model to determine the effect of two alternate nose designs on the spin and recovery characterstics of the McDonnel XF3H-1 airplane. The results indicated that, in order to insure satisfactory recovery from any developed spin obtained in the airplane with either of the two alternate nose designs, it may be necessary to use ailerons deflected with the spin in conjunction with rudder reversal, as was the case for the original nose design.
