Boeing scenario - One pilot commands 100% nose-down, the other 100% nose-up.

In the Boeing FBW planes (777, 787) where the yokes are not mechanically connected to the control surfaces, is there a take-over button to resolve the conflict?

The PF flew a perfectly flyable, reasonably safe and fairly stable plane into a stall.

AF procedures for "unreliable air speed" were not followed at any time.

I don't remember it being stated that Concorde was designed to have a 'rapid pit stop' capability, but those refuelling speeds seem to bear it out.

Do you know of anything to support this?
