[NSRCA-discussion] Judge this Take Off...B-2 T/O from Guam

[John Gayer]

I'm not familiar with the B-2 AirData AOA sensors but typically you will 
only get a stick push from excessive AOA as you approach a sensed stall 
condition. Any commercial airliner will have the sensor redundancy and 
the monitoring required to keep a single failed sensor from taking over 
the primary pitch mode controls. I would hardly expect less in a two 
billion dollar aircraft.
