Royal Enfield, my dear old stick, here we have 2 cases of Airbusses stalling for whatever reason, when they were marketed as 'unstallable', and in both cases the crew were so confused ..by the aircraft.. that they couldnt recover the aircraft. In the most recent case, an experienced fighter pilot, not some ab initio jock.

Equipment failure should not cause a stall, whichever way you look at it.

And in the event that the aircraft enters a stall, it should be recoverable.

Back to basics. Build aircraft that pilots understand and that respond unconditionally to the pilot's inputs. Then train the pilots to FLY.
