Default RE: What is WASHIN on a Wing use for

Washin is an increase in incidence. Washout is a decrease, you had it backwards. But like the other guy said, the tips have a lesser AOA than the wing root so as to prevent tip stall. In a high angle of attack situation, the root will stall first, causing the nose to drop and not the tip. Also you will still have airflow over the aileron so you still have control about your longitudnal axis.
