WhyByFlier,

I wonder at how effective the controls would be in the latter stages of this incident. When the aircraft is rolled over on to its' straboard side would the fin have more effect in laterally levelling the aircraft than the ailerons and increase the forces to rotate the nose downwards, for instance.

Obviously sweep back of the main wings will help as well. It is very difficult to understand what the forward velocity component is.
