A B48 - B52 bombers, are sooooooo huge as in the "sail area" of the sides, under the effect of the cross winds when landing; that in essence the aircraft body is a flying beam; and the way to make an aircraft landing at 250kmh with a 50kmh cross wind is to blend the vectors by aiming the aircraft at about 7* off center to the runway - side slip.

The "magic trick" is to TURN the wheels to run straight down the runway by rotating them by 7*, so that the aircraft lands and is running in a straight line down the runway, but it's running slightly sidewards - as it runs down the runway. And they can do it up to 20* off center.

Look at this picture and which way the plane AND the wheels are pointed.

In this picture - look at the wheels - and what their direction of travel is; and which way the plane is pointed.

This is what my bike is doing....

It's going in a straight line along the highway - but the frame / front end is running at a slight angle to the centre line of the highway.

Crabbing - I think is the name for it.

Me thinks - Best cure - dead accurate measurements with 1 meter ruler, 150mm ruler, string line, and by line of sight.
