100 321 NEO Order
#221
They are limited to 15 knots on straight always and slower in turns. I believe it’s 5 knots. What does seem strange is I don’t believe Delta has the same restrictions.
A dual truck aircraft can have amazing abort performance. A Delta 757 departing SNA aborted after rotation past V1 and stopped on the runway. Not bad for 5700 feet!

No doubt about dual truck aircraft having amazing stopping and abort performance. Given the nose wheel just coming off the ground, I'd be willing to bet most carbon fiber equipped aircraft could have pulled off the SNA feat, actually!
The 321 has quite amazing stopping performance for an aircraft its size with single truck was the point, though... you're hanging in the straps with MED auto brakes engaged on landing, and that is a LOT less than max.

The goal post moved again. Now you have to compare aborts after V1 to a stop... evidently tire damage not a factor.

Well Jet Blue landed at SMF and stopped 2000' past the touchdown point. Airbus wins! Accident: Jetblue A320 at Sacramento on Aug 26th 2010, brake fire on landing

Pratt has a new GTF engine coming out in 2020, and if Airbus does the work, with a new wing, and new materials in key areas, they could exceed the 757. The technology is mature enough to get there, where it wasn't just a few years ago, and by all indication, Airbus is already working on doing that.

The MoM jet is so hard to engineer, either you having braking issues as sailing is "describing", or the airplane can't get to V2 on a single engine.

I doubt it, the new stuff is not really new, it just refined GTF engines. Pratt also has an Ultra High Bypass GTF coming out for larger planes. Maybe we even see a shorter A330 with that engine.
