Fullwings: Which airplane can sustain landing in a 40 knot crosswind? Can most line pilots avoid exceeding the max. bank angle?

This must be an exaggeration. Even if limitations state 38 knots on a dry runway was flown by factory test pilots, I've seen no actual "line pilots" (guys/gals with over 30-35 years flying) attempt over about 30 knots; probably doubtful that the runway could be dry. And what if a reverser or autospoiler is on MEL?
