I have read the Reports on the Trident crash in the Late 50's along with several other reports of this type of aircraft design developing a high "sink rate" in certain flight modes. Is this still a problem with this type of design? Do the latest fly-by-wire computer controlled aircraft prevent this deadly,(from what I have read), almost unrecoverable situation? I also noted that these high sink rates occur almost always at altitude, and close the stall speed, although in some cases the aircraft was still climbing, before departing and entering a high sink rate, and crashing usally moments later. any comments welcome
