You should see what happens when TheGorrilla tries to do it manually - that might answer your question.

As to the practicalities, I don't see why not, given enough time, money and engine power. Doesn't the Typhoon have some automated manoeuvering systems which do pretty much what you want? (not sure about the flick roll though...)
