Not exactly. They don't “tumble.”

F-16, perhaps as it is inherently unstable, but not the F-15 or F-18.

Loss of power does not cause an issue, per se, it is the loss of hydraulic power, as the flight controls are hydraulically actuated. Lose an engine, windmilling keeps some hydraulic pressure and ensures some flight control.

Just to be clear.

F-117.

What I'm saying is that there exist some aircraft that are dynamically unstable and only marginally statically stable.

It is only a series of computers voting on how to interpret pilot requests that differentiate planes like the F-117 from a tumbling brick.
