Later BVM T33s had that corrected, to create a more progressive stall so that the root stalled first, a desirable characteristic on any aeroplane, model or full size.
After several inadvertent spins on my T33 the flight on which it was lost, was , in any case , going to be its last. Too many inadvertent spins.
Aerodynamicsand the theory of the causes spinning and autorotation are obviously not your forte!
Anytime you want to discuss spinning, the effects of the A/B ratios and the of conservation of angular momentum on spin recovery give me a call !
Been there, done that on real jets, as an RAF QFI.
