Testability

Machinbird @ #2321

Judging from the X-31 example, one might want to be seated in an ejection seat while demonstrating that point.
To avoid the costs of ejection seats (or capsule) and destructive testing of the a/c why not to test in the same flights an augmented "APU" turbine? With a 45° rotating nozzle if necessary?

Back to uncensored mode:

Question:

A minimum of how many kN, for this class of a/c, would be required to play a "recovery from stall"? And for generic "unusual attitudes"? (using a 45° nozzle)
