Yes. This has been proven in 'live fire' tests where such things were replicated in labs. I think this demo has been mentioned elsewhere (also some work done specifically for the F-35B and LiftFan). I'll look for info - if required. There would be limits to what can be done - an advantage of computer control of flying qualities is this flexibility (perhaps demo'ed by the Israeli F-15 high speed landing with one stub wing after a mid-air?). This could not be done on a carrier however because there are weight/airspeed limits for the arresting gear (amongst other issues - including not an F-15).
