River City, a Fact.

Although not known by the "Industry", the swept wing aircraft design is subject to a pitch-up, in a strong, weather induced up-draft! (Personal experience in a Boeing 707) Management explained it away by saying I was outside the "Envelope"!!

AF 447 may have survived if it had been left to the crew's natural physical sense inputs and normal, trained, control responses! The FBW programmed control inputs, in response to the pitch-up attitude, created a complex of rapid attitude transttions beyond the "Scope"!

We must standby until the computer nerds (experts) absorb some Aerodynamics knowledge!
