You folks not only understand various aspects of stalls quite well, but really know how to explain it ! True about the 330 disaster at Toulouse. Maybe "Aviation Week & ST" explained it well, but I probably misunderstood .

747 FOCAL-just one problem setting up an approach to stall in the real plane (twin turbofan from VR-62, but near Saginaw, MI [MBS]), is that when pulling both throttles back to where the bleeds are barely closed, about 52-55& N1, it is easy for one throttle to be set just a bit below what you want, and one engine can accelerate faster, even when they are not intermixed , as is so often the case these days with one clever airline which rents the engines.

What was it like in the 727 ( I never flew it)? How slow were you-then how fast when you recovered ? Any assym. wing anti-ice?
