Airbus 360, etc
Airbus has not produced Airbus 360, nor even announced what it should be.

So, there is no official limit on headwinds? Airplane types have defined limits for crosswinds (which is at least 20 knots for all planes, at least 25 knots for all planes with Vref over 125 knots and at least 20 % of Vref for all planes with Vref between 100 and 125 knots) and they have defined limits for tailwinds... So what about a strong wind directly ahead? Is it possible, or legal, to land an airplane flying backwards?
