AF447 had no performance problem. They knew they were not able to climb at their weight so elected to not do so. When the autopilot and AT failed with the UAS they pulled back for some reason and stalled causing the crash. We have covered this a dozen times but performance was not the problem, inducing an unnecessary stall was.
