Tailspin

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005860

An uncontrolled descent of an aircraft in a steep, spiraling motion, where the tail of the aircraft rotates around its longitudinal axis. This condition occurs when the aircraft stalls and one wing drops more than the other, leading to a loss of lift and control. Recovery procedures involve specific control inputs to regain stable flight.
