That's an excellent idea in fact.

Let's assume the worst and it's not possible to recover wings-level from 40 nose up at 60-100 air speed and dropping fast at 25k. Can you apply differential thrust and roll out of it? Wouldn't that in fact bring the nose down by itself?

If this airplane is discovered to have a stall regime in which recovery is difficult or impossible even from a substantial altitude, would that be enough to cause some airworthiness action?
