Machinbird,
Depending on what came first in the loss of AF447, it might still be the result of a departure, not the cause.
I agree!
Not sure quite what you are implying.
I´m using the WX as an example to push the "a/c controllability" to the edge.

Right!
The control design is too dependent on it as presently structured.
R&D is being done on this.
The F117 was an example of "exceeded design conditions". And there are thresholds involved.
A blast with less effect (farther) could be affordable by the System.
