Any aircraft with “underslung” engines could go vertical - it’s up to the pilots to not let that happen.

Pitch power couple
Turbofan aircraft with underslung engines will tend to pitch nose-up as the thrust is increased as the thrust line is below the centre of gravity of the aircraft. Conversely, as power is reduced the aircraft will pitch nose-down.
