I was told by a Typhoon test pilot (what does he know?) that only the Typhoon tail produces lift.
Not surprised. But I would also be surprised if an airplane like the F-22 didn't produce upwards lift on its tail. Generally, the more maneuverable an airplane, the more unstable. And if I ever did see a maneuverable airplane, the F-22 is one! It's amazing what fly-by-wire technology can do these days.
There are some difficulties with creating upwards lift on the tail. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's familiar with the aerodynamics of an airplane with that type of configuration.
Edit:
It's got nothing to do with stalling.

It has to do with QED? - Quantum Electrodynamics?!
