Early 757's before the correcting the brake valve shuttling were interesting at slow speed/brake pressure....like stopping at the jet bridge. :-0

Avoiding the 'Phenom swerve' is a small step for mankind, but a giant step for the pilot landing.

It has a 3 G limitation. Airliners are 2.5 G's. Is the airframe actually stronger? IDK.
