Just to 'tidy up', there, Jane:-

'Correct' (ie 'in-spin') use of aileron will accelerate a 'snap roll' and can be used in, for example, a 'Porteus' manoeuvre (qv).

A 'snap roll' can be made in any direction including up or down whereas the classic (ie fully developed) 'spin' requires a downward vector.

A 'jet powered plane' is quite capable of a 'snap roll' - I think the poster means ANY transport/large aircraft.
