Turbine D
In my opinion, big turbofan engines today are no more or no less "finicky" than their modern day fighter engine counterparts. I should add one other comment: Most of this technology evolved from the military J79 engine, the difference being the J79 produced 17,000 pounds of thrust and the F110-129 produces 30,000 pounds of thrust!
Thanks for that Turbine D. Can that be interpreted that you consider it improbable that AF447's engines would become stalled, even at high Angle of Attack? I know that engine technology has come a long way since Davies described an aircraft flaming out both engines while locked in a deep stall.
When you see what the F-22 can do, I am totally amazed how the engines handle major power changes in all sorts of outlandish attitudes and AOA states. The aircraft types I once flew would be wreckage in short order if they attempted those maneuvers. Right Gums?
