Hi jcjeant,
Your post #271 carries a stunning claim.
It alleges that a test flight at the AF CEV (the AF test flight center) to replicate the AF447 conditions found the aircraft fell locked into a deep stall that the test pilots were able to recover from only by cutting the engines. I tried to get to the full report by following the 'ALTER' link you left, but it appears limited to people with an Air France background.
Is there any possible confirmation of this and do any of the aerodynamic experts here believe this is even plausible?
