Michael, I am interested in the crosswind landing characteristics of flying wings, do you have any information on the discussed ships? The Genesis-2 has no problem landing in a crosswind, but as the forward speed slows to equal the crosswind speed, the ship turns into the wind and opposite rudder does nothing! After years of stopping on the runway, I deliberately started carrying an extra 10 knots of speed into the desired stopping area, then jump on the good hydraulic brake to stop the ship where desired. JJ A steerable nose wheel would solve this problem. On my ASH26 Mi, I'd sooner give up the engine than the steerable tailwheel.
