Paradise Lost:
Interestingly the commonly posted U tube of the Boeing 777 demonstrating max Xwind landing, seems to land on the runway offset and then "kick" it straight before lowering the nosewheel.
Doesn't the B777 have main gear with features similar to the B52? That's what allows the big bomber to land with a crosswind and then straighten out. I'm sure I saw a reference to the 777 using similar technology but I can't find it now so perhaps I dreamt it. I know they've got some fancy main gear tricks to help with take-off on a shorter runway.
