Alexander,

The nose-attitude of a 777 is not controled by the ailerons, but by the
horizontal stabilizer in the tail.

Correct, of course. You also need to understand the landing speed of a
Space shuttle and the length of runway it needed to brake to a standstill.
There were only a few runways worldwide that could take it. Kennedy Space
Center has a 15,000ft runway with 1,000ft RESA (Runway End Safety Area) on
either side. The runways at Edwards AFB are between 4 and 7.5 miles.
Kennedy 31L was certified, Amsterdam 18R as well. The wing surface of the
Shuttle also allowed it to flare-out, meaning because of the air-mass under
its wings the landing is greatly facilitated.
 
ak> A stall can be if an _unskillful_ pilot lifts the plane nose too steep
ak> in upper direction.
 
AF427 stalled at high altitude with 3 skillful pilots ... a lot of
accidents occur because certain conditions were never encountered.
Sometimes there is recovery by extreme skillful pilots, sometimes not.
 
An airplane running out of fuel while holding without declaring a
fuel-emergency for example is shear stupidity.
 
ak> But near the ground the plane can lift its nose and diminish its
ak> vertical speed.
 
Yes, but then "very" near to the ground.
