Exactly!
Why havent they carried out these tests? Surely if the deep stall tests could be carried out during test. If the situation was unrecoverable, then a recovery parachute in the tail could be deployed. That should at least get the nose pointing down. I thought test pilots were of the "right stuff". Seems i maybe wrong. Are crews now, part of the test flight program? Has Health and Safety hamstrung flight testing also?
Yes i know we shouldnt get into these situations but we do, humans being humans.
