Icelandic TV station video (language is Icelandic) during Airbus A380 crosswind landing certification tests in Keflavik with 40 to 50 knot crosswinds. Technique is to fly crabbed down to flare height then "kick" (gently) the rudder to align the nose. Some crab at touchdown is acceptable and will be cancelled as the main gear also align the bird with the runway. Sounds easy dosn't it? Notice the flight control laws only allow the lower rudder until the aircraft is on the ground, then both upper and lower rudders are controlled by the autopilot during AutoLand operations or by the rudder pedals. This logic helps prevent unwanted roll from the upper rudder due to its placement being so far away from the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

"Funny that when it comes to cars almost everybody will agree the Europeans are the superior engineers "Except for Audi and BMW... I've owned each of them and both were CRAP. Hence, why I know and forever will drive a Japanese car-- Honda.

"That contract for the tankers was ripped up and void"Doesn't matter, that doesn't prove me wrong. They wanted the Airbus. It is considered the better airplane for the job."American military hardware is far superior to anything which comes out of Europe.""to anything which comes out of Europe" says it all, you don't know much about European, or any hardware at all. Funny that when it comes to cars almost everybody will agree the Europeans are the superior engineers

That contract for the tankers was ripped up and void. FYI.... Lockheed Martin is the world's largest airplane manufaturer and defense contractor.Likewise, American military hardware is far superior to anything which comes out of Europe. A simple fact.
