@nigel o d "normal aeroplane"

No, it doesn't make it a normal aeroplane!
The report highlights the fact, that it was more a training/demonstration flight than a testflight. Thus the crew did not expect anything going wrong and waited for the protection to come (with wrongly calculated speeds derived from frozen AoA sensors).

Moreover it changed from normal law to direct law, switching auto pitch control off.

The crew did not have a normal aeroplane, but an incorrect functioning aeroplane!

What would have happened, if the AoA sensors worked as they should? I guess nothing special, despite low altitude and all the other factors.
