Kinda like aerodynamic braking,
In a sense I suppose...

Except instead of going for mainplane lift (Cl + Cd), you are using tailplane lift (negative) to increase the MLG load. As long as the nosegear remains on the deck you don't put the wing to work, and you get whatever nosegear steering is available.
