T-tail

From my days at the flying school and physics lectures, i seem to remember that these upsets are impossible to retrieve from. All T-Tail types are affected, 1-11, MD80 series etc....
That's why the MD 80's have ventral fins fitted to the nose section and also to
the outside of the engine cowling's i.e. to be able to handle or avoid a deep stall.
